Nope it's all about level discipline and what constitutes voice-grade service. The phone companies aren't interested in providing any more than they have to in order to meet their legal requirements. It's not all bad, though. They are upgrading things as they need replacement but they have a schedule for replacing equipment and they have an obligation to show profits for their stockholders as well as paying all of their employees. We are not quite at the point where the state owns the utilities, yet.
