Re: Shocked?

Telco's never had to offer Cable. If they'd offer a lower cost product they'd have business. But nope! they only offer you a special when you threaten to leave to go to Cable, or you go to sign up with Comcast and VZ puts a hold on your number transfer request and then they decide to call you and offer you some promotion that they would NOT have offered to you in the first place. Because they're VZ and don't have to do that.

Remember the telco's are the ones that have the "other fees and taxes" so when they have to lower your price due to them losing business to VoIP and Digital phone customers they have some sort of profit coming in.
