There is a whole industry of ex-Bell employees who go around to large
organizations and offer to find billing problems. The deal is, they do the
work for free, but get 50% of the money saved. These folks can make good
money.

Bell bills are notoriously incomprehensible to mortals, so people are
reluctant to cancel stuff without knowing what it is. What if the CEO has a
hollerdown circuit to his stock broker, and some well-intentioned soul
cancels it? People have lost their jobs over such things.

Bell will send something that is called an "Equipment Record" every few
months. It comes with the bill so a lot of times people just think it's part of the invoice and it gets filed by accounting. In reality, it is a detailed
inventory of every circuit that bell is delivering to you.

Find the equipment record (or get Bell to send you a new one). It will help
you a lot.

Jim
