Actually, I like calls from businesses I deal with when they have something new. For instance, I've got Verizon and was frequently called about getting DSL (I have DSL, just not through them). Total irritation. But I was happy to be spammed when they finally got FIOS in our area! P.P.S. Which of the following is a car? Silver, Bloodhound, Vermont, Pinscher, Pear, Peugeot Which of the following is a car? Fiat, Navy, Vermont, Washington, Grape, Spaniel By the process of deduction, "Vermont" must be the car!

That sounds like the exception that proves the rule. Actually, given your interest in FIOS it seems likely that you might have periodically searched the web to find out if it had reached your area yet, anyway. Even if not, you could have.
