What superior quality?  The last few times I called long distance (using ATT) I
got very noisy lines.  They were only marginally useful.  In fact the last time
I could hear another conversation (both sides) almost as well as the person I
was speaking to.  I heard them hang up, then I heard a phone ring 2 minutes
later and then I heard yet another conversation start.  That's when I said the
hell with it and terminated my phone call.  If seems to me that perhaps ATT cut
back on their quality as well as their price.  I'm going to get another service
soon, as I see no advantage to using ATT.
