@lauren @ernie not surprising they suck. Also in CA so I’ll share my fun story that ~ 8 years ago I attempted to put a pots line back in my rebuilt house as a backup. AT&T simply couldn’t figure out how to do it. I had the wires to the house, they couldn’t place the order & didn’t have people who know even what to do. Yet most of my elderly neighbors have working lines. Post Pacbell the system rots like a Dharma Initiative station from Lost still working somehow but mostly abandoned.
