We had to use Verizon network as it was the only one with anything like a signal. But we used a 3rd party provider and avoided a lot of nonsense.
For home service, they were total a_holes. Refused to put anything in writing other than threaten to cut phone service if I didn't accept their FiOS deal. FiOS for a phone line. :realcrazy: But wait, there's more. It will be just like copper except cost more and go out when the power goes out. What a deal. :rolleyes: And when there's a problem the only way to contact them is to call - listen to a menu - then wait forever - then try to talk to someone who is reading from a script.
Done with that. :)
And I agree. When 5G or whatever the next thing will be, that's going to change the playing field yet again. Hopefully there will continue to be enough companies in each market to keep things competitive.
