That ain't got anything to do about the word of mouth. Once you put all
the facts together: "John" not having a last name, (nor, in fact, his
real name is John), the fact that they do not allow calls from Canada

from them - you'll understand the way they operate. (Hint: it has
everything to do with access fee avoidance by treating call as
international).
So it's actually /cheaper/ to phone the US from outside? Wow, that's
kind of spooky - I didn't know that.
google for 'lawsuit sbc at&t mci canada access fee'.
Wow, this is actually really messed up. I thought (wrongly) that the
American market was very competitive and transparent, but it turns out
that it's pretty much the same ballgame as anywhere else :)
The telco 'connection charge' business is so screwed. They have been
inventing scarcity by using the monopoly they have on their network for
years and now that the internet short-circuits it all (and they are the
first to use it), they are screwed.
Thanks for the info - it was an interesting read.
Cheers,
Jean-Michel.
