Nice to be called a moron for saving around $50 a month for telephone service that is indistinguishable in every respect from old fashioned phone service. I could care less how much it costs the provider all I care about is how much it costs me. Why do you think the telco pays any more to provide the same service at twice the price? (over 90% of my calls are long distance) The fact is we talk on the order of 5 times as much for half the price. It is good to be the moron!
You have more faith then me bro. I never said VoIP isn't for everybody. I don't make much LD calls and if I need too, I have 2 cell phones that work just fine. The point here is though it's felt that 40.00 is TOO MUCH for VoIP providers to be charging, can you fathom what it's going to be when the FCC starts regulating it, the states want to take control of it and everyone will want some easy revenue? My 17.00 pots like ended up at 34 because of taxes, fees and features I wanted. But it's your money. When you start paying about 15.00 a month more once the feds and states see a revenue cow, for you, it still will be a bargain if you live on the LD side of your service.. ;)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15796010 Thu, 30 Mar 2006 22:09:16 EDT Re: TV http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15772488 anon : Nice to be called a moron for saving around $50 a month for telephone service that is indistinguishable in every respect from old fashioned phone service.

They do a 39.99 package for digi/hsd subs but I feel they should be charging 29.99 for the service, regardless of bundling.

most cable co's also offer free service calls, of which some of the cost is built into the rates. it would be nice, however, if these companies would offer some sort of loyalty rebate, for those subs who keep a service past 1 year (as an example). as for unreliable, they MUST keep a 99.9997(or whatever) up time to keep their CLEC status. unreliability is not an issue for the masses( at least in the system operating in my area). what's really insulting is someone making a blanket statment like "Whats really sad are the poor morons who shell out 30+ bucks for unreliable, overrated VoIP services from cable that cost's cable a few dollars to provide. It's one thing to pay 15 bucks a month or less for this same service, but when cable charges 40.00.. It's almost insulting."]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15772180 Mon, 27 Mar 2006 19:16:30 EDT Re: TV http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15771871 nfixit2004 : Just bring FIOS to NYC Please!

Fio's is in how many homes now? 17? Verizon can not handle this, they never finish anything.
Actually there are about 30 towns in Mass that are pretty much all wired up for Fiber, that they're rolling out TV service for. Countless others in the other couple dozen states they're also wiring. With the money they're spending they're making some good progress.. Considering Comcast is considering offering 16/1 service to all FIOS available localities, I'd say Comcast is a little more worried about it than you are.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15770787 Mon, 27 Mar 2006 16:02:44 EDT Re: TV http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15770720 Rickez : Fio's is in how many homes now? 17?
