So, after looking over that recent offer from MCI (Neighborhood), I have come to the conclusion that it is a great deal. According to the pricing $49.95 per month for unlimited long distance and local, including call waiting, caller ID and three way calling. BUT...is there something I am missing? The only complaint I've heard about leaving my local carrier (Verizon in NY) is that customer service is a nightmare and once you make the change, It is hard to change back. Now, I am not sure that this is the case, but doesn't MCI lease capacity from the incumbent carrier and re-sell it cheaper? Heck, my local and L/D bills equal better that $100.00 per month including taxes. Can someone shed some light on this subject? Basically I am looking for a reason to not make the switch. Does Verizon offer a competing plan..I have not seen it yet. Thanks!!
