This is probably not the best place for this, but is vaguely an ISP operational issue: We are moving in a few weeks to a bigger building, and were going to change over from the usual separate wire lines to trunk-side T1s. The original Bell South quote was only $100 a month cheaper (including our own extra equipment costs amortized over 3 years), but every little bit helps. When we went to make the order today, Bell South suddenly changed its mind, forwarded us to a different person, and the new quote is _exactly_ the same per T1 as 24 separate lines, plus a much heftier installation charge ($5,100 versus earlier $2,750), plus our extra equipment costs. Phooey. Nothing doing. These costs are already twice as much as Ameritech (where I live, and which I always thought overpriced). So, we are looking very hard at the new FCC regs on unbundling. We will be very happy to offer combined telephone and internet service for the same rate (or less) than Bell South is charging for phone alone. The CO is only 2 blocks down the street. Our customer base is about 1/16 the residences, and 1/4 the Chamber of Commerce businesses in this small town, and we are adding 100 a month. But.... We are totally clueless in the phone vendor business. Anybody know where to find our own switching equipment? Any other hints? Heck, while I'm at it, where do I find out about ADSL equipment?
