quote:...When you mention four times the amount for international calls I compared the rates for Windstream against TimeWarner cable (for the NC area) and found them to be very competitive.
TW is not available here. The service I had for LD was Sprint which charges only 8 cents/minute (landline - landline) to the country I call frequently. Windstream charges 17 cents/minute for the same service; calls to cell phones are 26 cents/minute where Sprint charges only 17.
As I call both LL and Cell phones in that country, the charges (on average) are almost 4 times what I was paying with Sprint. As I telecommute, this is excessive and will lead to my not using Winstream for international calling as I can call using my Sprint Cell account for less when needed...
This is not very competitive...

No I haven't but will check into it. Skype is also an alternative but the call quality is usually a crap shoot... -- Returnil - 21st Century body armor for your PC
I have used Vonage personally and never really experienced any issues with the call quality. It might be a good solution for you. I have not used Skype myself so I cannot comment on it.
