Pat, My daughter had a local service that gave her the runaround big time...real nasty too. She has now switched to Verizon and everything is great. I switched to ATT from a local company because he couldn't compete. I pay $16.95 month with Accelerator. Can you switch to your tel company or is that local too?? All our local tel cos went the way of the hoop skirts some yrs ago.
