>From the business standpoint I usually find that calls from companies using phone services that are not "as clear as a bell" are often trouble. That is no pays, slow pays, want something for nothing, etc. I believe good, clear phone service is a mark of a good business. For the few cents, I use Verizon POTS. Works very well. Cell phone. Living in Leeds you might look at one of the two companies that has its antennas on the chimney at 221 Pine St in Florence. You can't beat short range for quality service. I believe Verizon is one of them, but I could be wrong.
