They do work yes, but only have a 1% rate.
They annoy me to hell, especially when I'm already with them for everything.
They need to stop sending the junk out to people who are already customers.
I've had them addressed to me.
Also once or twice a week we get various un-addressed VM junk mail.

Simple database queries 101
It really is not rocket science.

There's still a lot of addresses around here they can supply, yet their database still says non-cable area, so people can't order online, they have to call up and then get the nonsense of computer says no. You have to tell them well this neighbour the service, that neighbour etc, just send out a spotter. Spotter comes out and as soon as the walk in to talk to you they say, there's no reason why you can't have the service, just the ropey database they have.
