SBC... yeah right... I say vote with your dollar !

I recently found out that Comcast is servicing my area with cable Internet, and I ordered it immediately ! A friend who was connected before me, is getting close to 3000kb/sec for less than I am paying for Earthlink/Covad/SBC (183k download/100k upload) DSL service.

As soon as that new bandwidth is connected, I am switching to a VOIP box connected to all of my phones, and dropping both the DSL and home phone services from SBC. Cost is only $0.02-0.03 a minute anywhere in the US for outbound (free inbound), and no monthly phone bill, taxes, and fees. Plus I get all of the services I pay a for now: caller ID, call waiting, 3-way calling, (Voice-mail $1 mo.),and on 2(CO)lines. I can even get a toll-free number for everyone to call me on, which saves them from long distance calls to me ! Even with paying for an interface box at $100, I am saving myself at least $70 a month !!!

I can help you if your interested in doing this too !

Sincerely,
John Martoccio

All good things will come to an end once the government intervenes. So enjoy it while it lasts.

It is time for a smaller Government.

Re: SBC... yeah right... I say vote with your dollar !

I'd like to see SBC quit talking out both sides of their mouth....oh wait, that'll never happen. First the LA Times article and now this gem.

In the Tri-Cities they just keep helping us with stuff like this. They told everyone last year FTTH was was "too hard" and sophisticated for anyone to run a utility with it out here. We didn't need it here...copper was good enough for us...and even now they haven't rolled out those services to all of us in the Tri-Cities!! We should just wait to be served by you SBC? I think not....and not at the exorbitant rates they charge either.
