WTF??? Just got a telemarketing call at 9:00!
"I'm not interested."

"Oh, is this a bad time?"

"Yes, this is a bad time, and I am not interested."

"If you like, I can call you again at another..."

4. When I got cable internet I got rid of my land line
I have my cell phone which is in the long run far cheaper. The only ones who ever call is my school alumni association. Its great never ever having to deal with telemarketers

6. Cable or broadband is not available where I live.....
so it's dial-up or nothing. Unless satellite has something new these days, but last time I checked, you still need to have broadband for that too.

5. You were probably his last call of the night
by Federal law I they can't call you before eight in the morning and after nine at night.
