You can attempt to opt-out, but this kind of thing should be illegal in the first place.

I could opt out but i'm building a collection at this point

This is the best thing to do. Let them waste their money on printed, mailed ads, and use it to taunt them on the internet and expose how they badger and milk their cattle customers.

Not very environmentally friendly. I just send it all back, then they need to waste space and personnel on sorting their own junk.

I feel this is the most environmentally friendly thing to do in my experience because it was the only thing that stopped me from being spammed by Comcast, former house owners, etc. it's amazing how quick businesses will stop sending you junk mail when you start sending it back.

lol, I’ve done this, multiple times. the only thing that has changed was that my name was replaced by “Residential Consumer” for the subsequent spam.

Yup, and in my case they started sending door-to-door salespeople. They're spending all the money to kill Google Fiber where I'm at.

Which only works if you have a product that doesn't suck. They should spend more money building their network out so it isn't 2002-era DSL oversubscribed 😂

Oh, is that how I triggered that?

It was like having a clingy boyfriend for a while.

This shouldn’t have made me laugh so much.
