I dropped PacBell when they tried to make me pay an additional deposit when they screwed me on a phone bill and disconnected me. That was when I switched to Cox for my phone (already had cable modem). I've been happy with my phone service ever since. > > Cons: > One disadvantage I see with cable, is that if the power goes out, so > does your phone service. Has never happened to us. The power has gone out, but we have never lost phone service as a result (No power for the cordless phones does not count. This is why a backup phone with a cord is a Good Thing). PGA -- Paul G.
