Shameless promotion
Allow me, it you will, a chance to shameless promote a service I recently signed up for. Broadband telephone service.
As a customer prisoner customer of SBC here in Chicago I’ve enjoyed some of the worst levels of service and satisfaction with a local residential phone company in my life. The prices, when I first moved here, were still figured on a per call basis and not the flat monthly fee I was used to in California. That was quite a wakeup call for me being that my job allows me to work from home calling my customers and potential customers.
I tried getting rid of the land line a few times, switching to a pure cellular mode, but was forced to switch back each time due to extremely poor reception from my other favorite hated beloved phone company Sprint PCS along with my need for DSL speeds requiring me to have a land line as a basis.
So, I regretfully happily re-installed my land line and put up with the horrible static and non-existent customer service wonderful clear reception and warm caring service professionals.
Things changed again when I switched to Broadband cable internet allowing me to once again consider removing SBC from my home and saving me a ton of money (my bills have been running over $150.00 per month, with basic phone services consisting of ‘a dial tone, costing roughly $35.00 of that amount).
I switched to Packet 8 and for $19.95 +taxes I enjoy unlimited local, long distance and Canadian calling.
I realize that most of you will guffaw at this, but If you’re interested in more, I’d be glad to send you an e-mail with information. (Yeah, I get a free month for each person I sign up, and so will you if you sign up)
