 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.

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.
