Intrusive Covad telemarketing

Posted by on August 9, 2005

Yesterday, I was checking out SDSL rates on the Covad website. This morning, I get a call from Covad. It turns out they process a log every night of who checks out the rate page for their services and cross-reference the IPs with a company’s contact info and give them a call to ask if they have any questions. I found this out after asking them why they called me. I told them I felt this was intrusive since I never asked them to contact me. The guy said my name in a patronizing manner and started to explain, but I said, “Thank you.” and hung up.
