I think it was reasonable to get told that there would be work done at the edge of my yard. Then I was ASKED if I might have interest in their internet and TV service. I could have said no at that point but I was interested, better than getting more junk mail and finding the area had no coverage.

And I bet you got a better deal than if you called in or went online. If someone is not interested, how hard is it to say I am not interested. SMH...

Yep. They are meaningless. They might dissuade solicitors, that is all. Streets are county owned, and your driveway is owned by you. TV has no authority over either.

I think they have a stay away list now as there are new groups all the time and they just skip our home.

When I lived up north, I had a letter-sized sign that said "NO soliciting, NO religious groups!" It worked pretty well. I had two salesmen ignore the sign. I reported both to their employers.
