Have you tried calling ATT? Do you "need" a 56K

I should blow up a petroleum farm if the gas
company won't sell it to me for $1/gallon?

Actually, my phone service was better when ATT
_was_ a monopoly, and I didn't have to put up
with unsolicited phone calls "inviting" me to

I've experienced "free" health care when I was
in the Air Force, and "for profit" health care
since I got out. I'll pay every time. "Free"
health care sucks. Note that doesn't mean I
think monopolies are good, I just don't think
that profit is evil...

Do you NEED it or WANT it? Have you tried
calling ATT or another competitor to Sprint?
