39.00 just for a local phone connection? What a joke.
7-8 cents a minute long distance, no number portability as of today.....

| Re: BE-GONE CenturyTel I have been without a land line for almost a year now. I did not see the reason to pay for a service that was costing me over $30/mo just have to have low life telemarketer call me on.
The only catch is, if someone asks if that is a cell phone number, you should tell them no. Some idiot wouldn't deliver me a pizza because I was calling on a cell phone. The funny thing was, I was using my credit card to pay for it. Do you think I would really call in a prank delivery call to a different address using my credit card?

$16 (approx) is the charge including all the taxes; it's the amount of the check I write each month.

Huh? Local phone service in New Jersey is only $16 per month, including taxes.
CenturyTel's rates, and the rates of other similar ILECs such as ALLTEL, tend to be higher because they are considered "rural" ILECs (even when they serve or mid-sized towns, or areas that are clearly suburbs of major cities), and their rates in mid-sized towns and suburban areas tend to include relatively large "EAS additives" to cover the costs of local calling to nearby larger communities.
Here in metro Atlanta, ALLTEL (Canton, Monroe, Winder, Jasper) charges *MORE* than BellSouth for the exact same local calling area...

@pacbell.n | Have you read the TOS for the VoIP services? Most restrict the content and give them the right to drop you if they don't like your attitude. Oh yea... they are not responcible for ANY outage even if Their network tanks...you still pay! | |
