I did this and it was worth it. I still get a few pieces of mail spam (AT&T is literally the worst, and I have called them repeatedly) but it's dramatically better.

Entirely nonsense that there's costs and whatnot associated with it. I am sure it's a PII goldmine for some script kiddie who gets lucky.

I spent 5 years trying to get AT&T Time Warner to stop sending monthly ads for their cable internet. I finally got someone to admit that they don't maintain a "do not mail" list and that every other CSR I spoke to had lied to me. What finally worked was threatening a lawsuit and restraining order. The ads stopped immediately.
