 Point made.  Dildohead - man, thats is a good one! 
  
 But in all seriousness, the situation is a lot more clear now.  In 
 reality, those calls may have been made by somebody in your home on your 
 line.  Thats the real difference, and that fact had all the world to do 
 with your decision.  Makes a lot more sense now. 
  
 And to the other poster (HD I think) who stated if you go to court 
 (which I don't think you can do anyways after 8 years) you can prepare 
 to have Telus drop you as a customer for life - well, just another plus 
 for taking them to court! 
  
 I have been Telus free lately and I love it!
