Right? No. If there is a fee to access a local phone company, it's built into the fee you are paying your service provider. Most phone companies have peering agreeements, they exchange local connections with each other. Someone on Verizon phone service has to have access to AT&T customers so they agree to handle each others traffic. The AT&T customers need access to Verizon, so it's a win-win for both companies. It's the same thing with VOIP service from cable companies, those customers need to have access to AT&T, Sprint, Verizon and whoever else is left so there is some agreement in place to exchange traffic between them. Really, it's just the service fee Spectrum is charging you plus taxes (if any) and feel free to smoke the lines 24x7. The only exception would be if it's out of the country going to one of them that aren't included in the 39 countries they do connect to. Yes, you can call London England and yak away for no more than the monthly service fee. Trans Atlantic, long distance, local long distance, doesn't matter anymore. -bruce bje@ripco.com |

I can relate to this. Many things I have purchased have been crap. Few items last as long as claimed. A lot of stuff fails as soon as the warranty ends. Its worse today than it was in the mid to late 20th century. The manufacturers know that most people simply throw defective items in the garbage and buy a new replacement. That is how they get away selling inferior products. But the blame falls on the consumer. If an item fails in a reasonable time, the company should be contacted and a complaint filed. Yet, I know that all of us have busy lives and there just isn't enough time to complain about every product that is not satisfactory. Thats how and why companies get away selling poorly made junk. |
