Perhaps, since BellSouth is the ILEC in Monroe, so CTE's circuit would be "competitive", and largely aimed at themselves. My guess is that the quality of CT service is inversely proportional to how long they've owned it. Much of the Embarq plant was being improved when they bought it, so it can now decay.
