you are saying. I talked with one of the men that put the new wire down
yesterday. He said the new wire that comes to my house is copper just like
the old wire was. All the other is fiber.
I can now understand what David was talking about.
I haven't thought about it,but you are right. There is no way Franklin
Telephone spent that much money for nothing.
I think I understand what you are saying about being switched to another
service once you get on line. I know the more customers telepak gets the
more servers they have to have.Telepak has about thirty now. When I first
got my computer they refered to them as their long distance carriers. I take
it telepak has to pay a fee to each of these carriers.
