With the proliferation of broadband and voice services, your land line is now as mobile as your cell phone, and cheaper. Look for this to turn in to a battle royal. The regional bells will not go quietly into that good night."

    it's ok, we're willing to go the extra/last mile with/for you.

    Due to excessive bad posting from this IP or Subnet, anonymous comment posting has temporarily been disabled. You can still login to post. However, if bad posting continues from your IP or Subnet that privilege could be revoked as well. If it's you, consider this a chance to sit in the timeout corner (for weeks/months in our case) or login (just makes robbIE turn on the PostBlock devise faster) and improve your posting . If it's someone else, this is a chance to hunt them down (like with the georgewellian nazi bouNTy hunter scam?). If you think this is unfair, we don't care.
