But you can be the first on your block to say you have "upgraded" to VoIP service.
Seriously their Bell Digital Voice (Henry's option #2) is geared at exactly that type of individual. Some people will pay more for a service, car, you-name-it just for bragging rights to be first on the block. I agree it has the potential to be better quality VoIP because Bell will have more control over the IP portion from their backbone to your CO. However, unless they start providing immensely valuable applications on their platform that the customer can only gain access to through their service I don't see why you would take VoIP that doesn't deliver the generic, standards-based interface layer to your premise. dbc. -- David Cook (Canada) Quoting "Henry.L.Coleman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > I am inclined to believe Bjorn on this matter, there is a lot of > built up > resentment against Bell Canada.
