AT&T to Leave Residential Business
Herve writes "Just got it from a press release on the AT&T website: 'AT&T will no longer be competing for residential local and standalone long distance customers. The company stressed that existing residential customers will continue to receive the quality service they expect from AT&T; however, the company will no longer be investing to acquire new customers in this segment.'"
Could this be the end of Carrot Top's carreer?
The company stressed that existing residential customers will continue to receive the quality service they expect from AT&T :) </wisenose-mode>
<wisenose-mode>that a good thing or a bad thing?
I can finally answer my phone again without fear that an AT&T telemarketer will be haranging me.
This makes me rather glad that I didn't sign up for their "local and long distance" plan that 'my friend' Jeanine at AT&T offered me last night.
When AT&T will no longer be competing for residential local and standalone long distance customers...
...that's mLife
(Does this make me a troll?)
It would be cool if it didn't suck.
There are better deals. If you are paying a monthly fee, you negate any "low" per cent charges.
I got a deal with Verizon thru their web site (an internet only offering) for 7 cents a minute, no service fee.
They send you a seperate bill, but how diffucult is it to write a check?
I've had statements where the check amount was less than the postage since I barely make any calls from home.
I could use my cell phone which give free long distance but the calls cut in and out, especially if the other person talks over you. POTS gives you a cleaner call.
It's not polite to tell you Grandmother to "Shut the ---- up" just to save a buck.
