Well, it's gotten better here in ohio now that there is some competition to
Ameritech.  It's mostly on the business side right now, but when My BBS
morphed into an ISP and I got it an office downtown, I didn't even bother
with Ameritech.  I went with a company called Nextlink, which just happened
to be located in the same building as me.  While it wasn't a perfect
experience, it was better then Ameritech, and cheaper. (8 cent long distance
back in 1996!)

I also dealt with them through another company I was working for, where we
had 24 lines from them run over a T1 through a multiplexer.  When the
company moved to a bigger location and switched phone companies (we were out
of the nextlink service area) they never even bothered to come get their
equipment.  I believe the $4,000 multiplexer, and other assorted equipment,
is sitting on a shelf at the company still!!!

Silly people....
