Dan - The OP was looking at service at the subscriber's end, not the CO end. That the CO wants to make the last $0.0025 on services, even as their CO is falling down in ashes around them, is another consideration altogether.
I could find no legal basis under which telephone service providers are required to maintain any particular level of service. I used the think this was so, some few years ago, but I was operating under a misapprehension. Regards, Peter L.
