So...

Yeah, so what? AdHELLphia was running the stupidest anti-DSL radio commercials here for ages. Lies and wild exaggerations.

Comcast is still doing the same absurd radio and TV claims here.

About the only thing the FTC requires these days is that you not pull the trigger on the gun you shove down your customer's throats while you take their money. To hell with actually providing the product you advertise...

Exactly has anyone heard the new Charter ads for the Digital phone service? Ridiculous. I can't believe they are selling phone service, they can't even get their HSI products stable and clean. They say goodbye unreliability, high prices, etc and say hello to reliability and low prices? First are they dumb enough to say that Verizon is unreliable and people should switch? They are charging $45 a month I think, expensive! Verizon now has a $35 package, vonage $25, sunrocket $17 a month!

Guitarzan, how about some examples of these ads? The only ones I've seen just say they are x times faster than DSL. How is that the same?

I see Verizon ads bashing cable all the time. Cable snake,cable pig...etc...etc. Verizon is like a mud-slinging politician around election time. Who's more desperate?

Not quite that simple...

Though I'm a user of voicepulse, I have to admit that for many the local cable company offered voip has the advantage of using "out of band" data transfer so it doesn't impact -- and isn't impacted by -- your neighborhood porn geek downloading every night.

Both corporations like to bash each other, whenever the opportunity presents itself. What i found truthfully funny in Radio Docs reply is.

That in general is the modious operandi of most corporations today.
