Re: Hearsay Not Same as Truth Dash keys? Of course there aren't dash keys. Come on, now you're just being lame. Look in the phone book. You don't see 7 and 10 digit phone numbers separated (area code, prefix, int'l access code, etc) by dashes. As far as 9-1-1, it's written that way not just by me, but the NENA and hundreds of fire and police departments. Why? Because it's pronouced nine-one-one, not nine hundred and eleven, not nine-eleven...nine-one-one. Because you dial, 9-1-1. Use your head. And certainly yes, the PSTA isn't operated by the VOIP provider, but it's the VOIP or telco who ROUTE THE CALLS THERE or are at least supposed to. In the case of Vonage, they didn't. However had I had Verizon POTS, it would have. Again, use your head.
And sure, I'M an ILEC apologist. I guess that is why I CANCELLED Verizon DSL and their overpriced POTS. I even went with cable HSI over FiOS...because I just LOVE the ILECs.

Yeah, I just LOVE the ILECs.

Even though Verizon FiOS is also available at my address, the loss of copper, previous experience with bad Verizon service, Verizon's endless junk fees, and contract (in order to get a better price than RR) stop me from bothering to try it.
And "prove it". What, sign back up with Vonage, and record my 9-1-1 call going to an off-hours number at the police station? Then what...we watch you go off on yet another Sesame Street, 9/11 and WMD tangent. No thanks.
VOIP routes (or is at least supposed to route) 9-1-1 calls to the appropriate call center. That makes it THEIR 9-1-1 service. I'm responsible for giving them correct address info, which I did. They're responsible for taking that info and making sure the 9-1-1 call gets to the right place (which Vonage failed miserably in doing).

But your actions speak for themselves.
In the short time that I've been following the news here, I've seen you write quite a few contradictory things. One thing that has remained steadfast is your unwavering enthusiasm for the ILECs' product (POTS), and completely irrational (albeit venomous) arguments against VoIP. Remember your house, that can magically transport itself around town? Everything it did was to the detriment of VoIP, but apparently a very long phone cord kept it connected to the ILEC's CO at all times. But today you don't even have POTS!
Can't wait for what tomorrow holds. | | |

Corona, CA | Unwavering enthusiasm for POTS? Flying houses? Your short time here obviously hasn't done anything for your reading comprehension. None of what you said is true and you're just embarassing yourself.
It's always nice getting a /. reject in here, makes for a good laugh. | |
