Slightly off topic, and top posting as well!
I used to work for a reseller like this in the Netherlands, and the
way we could actually compete with the PTT ( who, after all had been
given a free infrastructure, and were also _making_ money selling the
scrap copper when they put fibre down! ), was by compressing the
calls, so that more calls could be multiplexed into the same
bandwidth.
This resulted in poorer quality calls. Is this the case also with the resellers out here? This would be a big issue for those of us who still make a lot of looong distance calls!
Cheers,
Steve
Something like that. I couldn't give a toss. I speak with people in 3rd world countries reasonably often and it is "crap" even with telescum. Kiaora to France is better than telecum to Russia though... so I guess its all relative... Do you really need all 3200khz? They aren't going to get the "s"es anyway, so... would you like to pay 12c p/m, or 120c?
Cheers
Anton
