We are all entitled to have companies that we like or dislike,
there is only one which I dislike intensely and would love to see
disappear of the face of the earth .

Same here - nice to see a company admitting their problems and rewaring
patient customers.
For me, the 2 minute cut-off problem was more annoying/serious than the
billing issue.

Recently, popped out over the fence
around uk.telecom.voip and said...

While I second the praise, let me say that is MUCH more difficult to
pinpoint a problem a few users are having, rather than a "widespread"
(let's say ubiquitous!) problem on the backbone of your billing system.

Very happy they got it sorted, tho... the phone service is spotless, so
reliable I dumped the copper pair!

Happy Xmas!

No but there's probably a newsgroup for it, just like there's a
newsgroup to help all the poor sods who cant get VOIP working properly

And I can see why you hide your ID you re so ashamed that you need an
entire newsgroup in an attempt to get VOIP to work properly yet Skype
works in seconds with no problems

But Skype needs a computer or maybe a PDA. Show me an ATA which I can use
to access Skype through the normal phones on my PABX that I access every
other system I use on and I'll consider it.

PS at least I don't hide my identity. Everyone knows who I am, what have
*you* got to hide..?!

Yeah, if they do play silly beggers, then I'll get a landline back, was
on BT landline before I dumped it for VoIP, but I too would have no real
need for VoIP then.
