Re: Evolution of the VoIP market?
i'm sick of reading this same rant from you. i think i read it 2-3 times in various sunrocket threads and now here.
pots service is fucking cheap to provide, and your local telco monopoly makes a mint off of it and the expensive add ons like caller id, call waiting, and touch tone. caller id costs, what, 5 cents to provide? now spread that mentality over other telco services to get an idea of their profits.
you seem to be arguing that we should all head back to pots because change is scary. well fuck that and fuck at&t or whoever your local telco is. voip is here to stay. |

| Rant?? who's ranting? And if you don't like it, don't read it. I'd say the truth hurts.
It's easy to armchair quarterback.. so I invite you do run your own business and then say how easy it is.. and how caller ID is .05 cents to offer. You clearly have no clue what you are talking about, so I'll forgive you.
One thing for sure.. I was raised properly.. I don't need to make a point by using a potty mouth either.
Seriously.. you need to calm down.
Also, do some research before you open your mouth next time, please. I am no fan of the phone company.. but further of a fan of the VoIP provider.
They have NO over sight and NO regulation and NOTHING stops them from holding you hostage without warning. Get it?? Let's regulate VoIP providers and see just how long your $25 phone service stays that price. Vonage is already creeping up because they too are passing along fees.
Really.. come back with a better part to the debate and don't just rant.

| Qwest in MN offers basic for $14.76 + taxes. They want $34.99 for Local, 5 cent LD and 10 Features. Additional $25 for unlimited long distance. How does that compare to my ATT Call Vantage @ $29.99 Unlimited? It doesn't. I have the same features and service for a better price. I have had fewer service calls with Charter and At&t Call Vantage then my Qwest landline. I selected AT&T over Vonage over any other VOIP solely on the good chance Banko starts to happen. So far I made the right choice. |
