AT&T Tells CallVantage VOIP Service Customers to PISS OFF!

by John P.

I’ve been an AT&T VoIP client for 5 years now via their CallVantage service. But they just sent us a letter in the mail telling us that they are going to discontinue the service.

The attached recording demonstrates one method of negotiating lower rates with Sprint PCS – even while you are under a contract.

Response to a Net Neutrality Critic

March 20, 2007

I recently found myself reading David Cowan’s personal blog as a result of researching my previous post on Dr. Dawkin’s letter to his daughter. As I perused his interesting site I found a post entitled “Net Neutrality is Politically Correct“. If my interpretation is correct, David argues that the concept of Net Neutrality is misguided [...]
