When I was last shopping for DSL internet service in the UK, every provider would require you to enter your phone number to see what speeds they could provision you with.

Most had a small box to uncheck to avoid a marketing follow up phone call.

But at least one company didn't have a box--they just had a message saying that if you entered your phone number to check for service, they would call you at some unspecified later date. There was no way to opt out.

Needless to say, I didn't buy their DSL.
