Let the price wars begin.

Just like when DSL and Cable started major price wars between each other, this should hopefully bring the same results. The biggest thing we will need with companies like AT&T offering VOIP is communication between AT&T VOIP, AT&T IS, and AT&T telco to ensure that VOIP problems that arise because of DSL issues that are caused by telephone line issues do not mean you are making a million calls to find someone who will work to fix the problem.

Re: Let the price wars begin.

Where is this magical world where competition exists? I've lived in Houston, Austin, and now Dallas and everywhere I've lived I've had ONE company to choose from for my service. That means crappy speeds, crappy service, and high prices. Right now I'm paying $49/month for Grande Communications DSL... 1.5Mbps down/384Kbps up. My digital cable is pretty limited, especially in the HD department.

Re: Let the price wars begin.

About 4 years ago $50/month got you 512-768kbps with 128 up. No many places have speeds of 3.0-6.0M/~512kbps for that same price or just slightly more.
Even though VOIP is cheaper than a plain POTS line I think there are too many problems with stability and service to try that road. Hopefully this news is an indication that making a VOIP as solid as POTS with a cheaper price is on the horizon.
