Re: This should pass.
All well and good in theory; that is, UNLESS you can't get decent services to carry VOIP. VOIP requires connection to a reliable internet service,thus you pay for either a substandard DSL and then listen to your VOIP connection stutter because you can't use your DSL AND VOIP at the same time because the DSL line sucks hind tit! There are those fortunate locales where real competition is is in place where you can get something besides crappy DSL but then you have yet another set of hands rummaging through your wallet for even more share of the remaining dollars.
At least POTS line is there when you need it or use it, doesn't stutter or require a reboot of the router and/or ISP reconnect. The FCC needs a major enema to clear its Shit for brains management's head and realize that their edicts are just more screw jobs for the consumer. |

| I still can't believe the savings I am making going VOIP. My average monthly 'phone bill is around $5 a month. I get flyers from Cogeco, Rogers, Telus, et al; but when I call in, I simply ask them:
"Can you give me pay-as-you-go international calling to the UK at 0.009 cents per minute?"
Guess what? The answer, after some bullsh*t & nonsense from the CSR's, is a resounding NO!
Future-Nine FTW: Cheap Calls To The UK

Of course they said no. 0.009 cents is less than a penny. Why would (how could?) anyone sell any kind of voice service with PSTN termination for less than $0.01 a minute? |
