One of our accounts got a T of some sort for $400 a month or less. I
cannot remember the actual number. They only needed a 3 or 4 dial
tones and internet access. He is going to save almost $100 a month
with the new service. There are some crazy deals out there from some
of the smaller companies.
Do not forget the beware. I had one account that wanted 10 dial tones
and internet access. The one provider quoted 8 dial tones and 1024
internet speed for $505 a month. Great deal. He said you can order the
others when you need them. They needed the 10 now. I told my customer
to ask for the bid to reflect their needs. They came back with $640
for 10 dial tones. You can get pots from Bellsouth for less than $70 a
line. No great deal there when you get to what you really need.
