Re: Very Cool
I hope the other 49 states follow suite.
I am paying $ 59.00 a month for POTS service, which I do not need, just to be able to get DSL. We rely 100% on our cell phones. I have coverage in all 50 states for $ 44.00 per month. Free weekend minutes and have never ever gone over my 300 free minute limit. Plus there is no charge for long distance calls. Who needs a landline anymore anyway??

| That depends if you need a modem for one reason or another. I have VoIP as my main number, but I still would probably keep my one line of Verizon service for a modem I have. It is very unstable over VoIP, plus I want to keep it up so that my mom can dial in to get her email for the domain I run for my family and whatnot. (She says she doesn't compute enough to justify getting Power Link.)
Still...it might be nifty to find an alternate POTS carrier for less. That might not be feasible in the near future, what with the story I heard on the radio news about the FCC not renewing UNE requirements (meaning in not too much time, Verizon might raise the rates prohibitively high for all the CLECs to continue leasing the lines).

How soon for SBC & Bellsouth?
How soon will SBC and Bellsouth follow suit? Right after Congress gives itself a pay CUT.
And only after they've given up charging a "legislative recovery fee" on DSL.

Greer, SC | Thanks to the Ga courts, Bellsouth in metro Atlanta does offer DSL only. The catch they don't advertise is the $15.00 a month line charge. |

Uh, you are not paying $59.00/Month for 1 regular POTS ONLY line! My phone only cost me $16.00/Month.
