3 edits | Can I be the first. With the slow roll out of fiber may be soon we will be able to get out the shovels for the funeral of the Bell companys. You know if you think about it, at one time or another every single VoIP customer of Comcast used to be at one time or another a Verizon or AT&T Customer. Comcast should send them a thank you letter. Its funny Verizon is trying to dangle fiber in front of city's faces like teasing a dog. Yet in the mean time they are losing their all of their ground to Comcast with all of the delays with their roll out. Talk about starting a war that apparently they can't finish. Hell by the time they get the laws passed so they can unfairly compete vs Comcast their wont be no more company left.
Hell in a few more years their fiber network will just be at 9% and the rest of the 91% of their network still on old phone lines will now belong to the cable company's namely Comcast.
Yep I can see the Comcast over the Verizon now!
Oh I have not used this in awhile lol.
ALL YOU CUSTOMERS BELONG TO ME!
Ma' Bell's going to be calling Comcast daddy by the end of this one lol. So thats Daddy Comcast to Ma'bell. hahaha |

| I prefer 3rd party voip it's just plain cheaper the cable companies are too expensive. For example I use Tmobiles at home service which is around 12.00 per month with taxes for unlimited nation wide access before Tmobile I had ATT Callvantage which was 25.02 a month. Also the majority of 3rd party voip providers now are pretty much plug and play |

Also the majority of 3rd party voip providers now are pretty much plug and play This whole thread ignores some inconvenient facts:
1) Cable is a last-mile provider. Not exactly a "landline", but enjoys a distinct advantage in that its telephony services are IP, but *not* Internet-routed. Consumers don't know this, but it is reflected in the call quality and consistency. "3rd party" voip may be cheaper, but it is at the mercy of the Internet and your ISP.
2) Cable has a real service fleet to make up for its customer service and tech support, unlike Vonage, MJ, or any other pretend phone company.
3) Conversions from telco are driven by the madness that is "doing business with telco" and the laundry list of extra fees and taxes, and the first-year bundle rates cable offers.
This can be undone if telco offers an equivalent package: flat-rate calling with all custom calling features, inside wire maintenance and taxes included, for $35/month, $50 with 3M DSL. Make the bill end in ".00". |
