Re: Someone will buy vonage
You missed my point.
Someone will buy Vonage for their brand recognition.
The part about AT&T was just hypothetical as Vonage bashes phone companies.
Anyways AT&T (Technically SBC) is not as bad as you claim.
I have had AT&T/SBC Dsl for years and never had any real issues with service.
I had one issue and they sent a tech out the next day and installed a nid splitter and new twisted pair phone cable for free.
But I do know people who had some bad issues with their DSL and that is because AT&T allows people too far away and with bad lines get DSL without fixing their lines.
I have always had AT&T phone service and never ever had a problem with it. In fact we lost cable TV for a week from a snowstorm in the 90s and my Phone and Internet worked worked fine the whole time.

Bloom County | I am another one - I have had POTS from AT&T for years and never had a billing issue nor has my phone line been down. Phone bill is only $36-39/month (I use a AT&T calling card from WalMart/Sams for LD). |

Waltham, MA | Does that 36-39 INCLUDE the cost of calling cards? I doubt it.
I pay about $30 a month to Vonage. I use well over a 1000 minutes a month calling, about 500 of it to Europe. AT&T wouldn't even come close. |

| For you it would not - I rarely call long distance so add in maybe $3.00/month and probably more like 1/3rd of that or less.
Fact is - the company needs to make money - something that have yet to do which means the prices are too low and they will fail eventually. There is no such thing as a free lunch - or free long distance either. |
