Looking for Best Broadband Phone Service--if one exists
Posted by repairs on September 29th, 2005


Hello
Well, I am thinking of utilizing broadband phone service either as a
supplement or in place of at least a portion of my phone service.
Currently I have two phone lines that I have unlimited everything from
Verizon and the aggregate cost is about $100 per month. I need to keep
one of the lines--at least for local service--otherwise the umbilical
cord for DSL would be cut meaning back to Cable and that is a no-no
for me.

There seem to be a lot of broadband companies out there--I cannot use
my DSL carrier at this time as it is not offered as of this time--and
I am looking for good and bad experiences.

Any help/insight would be appreciated.

I run my business out of my home in case this adds to the discussion.
Thanks In Advance.
Joe

What's wrong with cable?

For what?

Pick one and if it doesn't work out, then you should find another one.

You should at ISP(s) that provide service and support business consumers.
The have them for DSL too.

I don't understand this.
It sounds like you both have DSL and cannot get DSL now.
You don't say why you wouldn't want cable.

I don't know what else you might consider -- satellite?
None of the microwave stuff is cheap.
Maybe your area has citywide wireless accounts, but they aren't cheap,
either.
Does (your city, country) have a local computer magazine or portal? I
used to find the most interesting small-company deals and services in
those.

for DSL Connectivity. Most have to use Verizon for the local channel
copper access....and most cannot make money doing so. There are just a
few that have their own access and they are usually in the more
heavily populated areas, where I am not!

None here offer the phone service, excepting Verizon. I believe cable
is just about the same--at least in my area. Broadband phone service
is something the broadband carrier(s) wants to bundle.

Adjacent to my area, Verizon is adding 'cable' TV to their offering
early next year. That should serve notice to others that there is
competition for the customers.

Anyway.

Thanks
