Comment on I get junk mail from T-Mobile & Verizon offering services that when I call them they say my address is not available for service. Both offer those services to my neighbors. How do I deal with this ?

  Blacklists are illegal for public services.

  Thank you for that.

    I wasn’t sure what you were trying to get access to, I had assumed internet.

    I didn’t think internet counted as a public service, but I could be wrong there too.

    Maybe not a blacklist, but I know a house I lived at previously (back in the era when landline telephone was fading out but still common) one phone company didn’t offer residential service at my address but did for neighbors’ addresses and kept telling me I could only get business service. I assume a previous resident had used business service and the address was then in their system as the location of a business. Perhaps something similar is happening to you.
