My wife's boss just got back from a trip to China where he lost his cell phone and was having problems getting a normal replacement for reasons I never understood. His other companions told him just to buy a pre-paid cell phone and use it but he figured the service would be sorry like pre-paids are here in the States. But he did anyway and found the service to be excellent with better sound quality than his high priced phone from the US.<BR/>Maybe all the US companies suck.Commander Zaiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11000824454124236774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20267501.post-75354074017750858972008-07-28T17:49:00.000-04:002008-07-28T17:49:00.000-04:00Do you use Verizon's DSL?What do you think about i...Do you use Verizon's DSL?<BR/>What do you think about it?<BR/><BR/>I have to decide between Verizon's DSL or Cox Cable Internet.<BR/><BR/>The cable tends to be faster, but DSL cost is a lot less.FreeOscarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17519953981397395954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20267501.post-31398782512582432982008-07-28T17:06:00.000-04:002008-07-28T17:06:00.000-04:00Reminds me of my battle with the New York Times. ...Reminds me of my battle with the New York Times.

These companies spend millions in advertising telling you how great they are. I wonder if they would just spend a few extra dollars of some basic service issues if they might actually live up to their own hype?<BR/><BR/>I don't want to scare you, but it is entirely possible you will never get your service back.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12172636036419057286noreply@blogger.com
