I assume you intended that pun, because I'm not going to let the Sergeant shove his plasgun into that particular dark cavity and NOT have it subsequently fired.
That's the only way to make sure it comes back out clean, after all.
Not that I was likely to switch to them anyway, but I'll definitely keep them in mind as "definitely not." I do get asked my opinion from time to time.
I get telemarketing calls from PRIVATE all the time. Typically they don't even have someone on the phone when you answer, just "please hold while we connect you...". Ha ha.
Since the vast majority of the time PRIVATE or UNKNOWN means "telemarketer", I don't usually even answer those calls anymore, and they never leave voicemail, and none of my clients have complained that I don't answer my phone. :)
You're right -- this certainly doesn't sound like the behavior a legitimate customer service rep for Qwest would engage in. It's surprising behavior for ANY telemarketer, though

Yep, been boycotting them for years already. Evil company. Had to go through the BBB to get any sort of relief from their stupidity. Last I looked their BBB rating was horrendous as well.
What I love is how I keep getting Qwest offers in the mail for service that they cannot provide in my neighborhood. There's a rather large area (several square miles) that's in the city but too far from the phone switch to provide DSL. But they still send offers for DSL, and for packages that require DSL as one of the components.
I'm also annoyed about their pushing DirectTV as the apartment owners won't allow installation of the dishes.
Apartment owners can't stop you from installing a dish. They can keep it out of common areas, and they can dictate where you put it within the realm of places that do work, but they can't stop you from putting one up altogether.

Q: If I live in a condominium or an apartment building, does this rule apply to me?
A: The rule applies to viewers who live in a multiple dwelling unit building, such as a condominium or apartment building, if the viewer has an exclusive use area in which to install the antenna. "Exclusive use" means an area of the property that only you, and persons you permit, may enter and use to the exclusion of other residents. For example, your condominium or apartment may include a balcony, terrace, deck or patio that only you can use, and the rule applies to these areas. The rule does not apply to common areas, such as the roof, the hallways, the walkways or the exterior walls of a condominium or apartment building. Restrictions on antennas installed in these common areas are not covered by the Commission's rule. Since the only places such an antenna *could* be installed are the roof or exterior walls, they *can* say no. No balconies or the like
