It is very pleasing to see that PAC Bell is doing their best to keep
cost down and quality up. It used to be that if you had a bad line you
called up the TELCO and complained (persistently for 6-9 months), and
someone checked the line, found out you were correct, and returned the
line to specification (after an additional 3-4 months). Now PAC Bell
will do this for $175 plus $22.25 a month to keep it that way (fat
chance) plus some cash for Uncle Sugar. It's good to see divestiture
has reduced costs so much!
[While on the subject of cost, who is making all the money
from the extra revenues collected on the various phone
companies behalf? It surely cannot be the poor TELCOs,
regional or long distance, because they keep upping the rates,
must be all the lawyers.]
