[BC] strange Long Distance charges

[Larry Bloomfield]

Bill:

Not sure where you are now, but the telephone service I have in Oregon 
is quite reasonable. Quest charges $20/month, flat rate, for unlimited 
long distance. You do have to have some of their feature on your line to 
get it for that, but that's a lot better than the 1.3 cents I was pay 
before. My bills ran a much as $200 - $300 a month. It's not cheep 
calling all over the US on that other system. The new rates are much 
better.  If my crystal ball is working, I believe you'll see things get 
even less expensive as calling via the Internet becomes even more 
popular and the competition gets hotter.
