It's dependable and seldom off line. The problem is the bells priced themselves out of the market. Why would I pay twice as much for half the features or pay more when I can bundle for the same price? Bell just needs to come back down to earth with the rest of us.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20123839 Fri, 07 Mar 2008 01:46:24 EDT Re: Baby Bells http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20122938 KrK : I like Cox digital telephone--- just one problem....

... it's too expensive. When the "Introductory" price wears off, I'll probably switch back to POTS simply because it will be $10 cheaper or so.

Considering they are selling basically a VOIP product to you over the existing Cable equipment which you're already paying for Internet and TV via, I would think they should be able to better compete on price.

... of course, it's not about competition. It's about profits.

Good ole baby bells dieing so slowly..
too bad too, they're tried and true! I love my POTS, I'm just wondering how bad it will be when I'm forced into the scenerio where I have to buy it. Wi9ll the tax structure be the same (you know it will eventually), will I be charged additional fees for upgrades I never see?
Basically, all of the nickel and diming my cable HSI is doing to me!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20119628 Thu, 06 Mar 2008 13:15:32 EDT Baby Bells http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20119597 Defiance82 : Good ole baby bells dieing so slowly..]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20119597 Thu, 06 Mar 2008 13:11:38 EDT
