I was trying to figure out what we thought of each for voice services in 
addition to Data. I'll break down the specifics here.

SBC/NuVox/ATT.... how  do we like them?

ATT:  We have ATT now. Their contract has been up for over a year and 
they have not raised prices. They have a good and working product. There 
sales persons don't seem interested in renewing. They  cost us thousands 
of dollars when they could not get us a firm install date, and then 
changed it. They have given us no compensation. They say they deliver 
ANI when CallerID is not available. They say they deliver Name with 
Number on CallerID, but are not currently. Large local calling area. ATT 
is about to merge with SBC. ATT delivers the correct name on cell phone 
calls on my other Lines.

SBC:  Don't know what to think of SBC. Don't know if they are including 
everything in there quote. They are saying the same thing as ATT. But 
are aggressivly perusing a sale. Below tariff. Why can't they offer 
everyone the same great price. Why fight for me if they will be losing 
money? Will they screw me next time like they are everyone else. They 
say they are not and have not been monopolistic. They are about to merge 
with ATT. They are the ILEC. They don't deliver Name on calls from cell 
phones. Will they raise their rates automatically and without notice 
when the contract ends. Could I require SBC to deliver Wireless name as 
a part of the contract.

NuVox:  NuVox says they offer one price and include everything. Can do 
Call forward  & disconnect (2b Transfer) Without upgrading my 
equipment.  They pull from a third party  DIP for Caller ID Name  but 
that party gets there data directly from SBC (Will cell phones show name 
vs "Wireless Call")

I do not feel it approperate to give prices. With these deals I am not 
sure its allowed. I will state a range. You could get the same quote by 
calling the companies yourself. ~$1500-2000 For about ~1000 numbers 2 
pri and  ~512K Internet.

All prices seem to be about the same.
