[blu] broadband phones?

Hey, you have speakeasy.  Ask  them;  they're  selling  the
service you want in our neighborhood.  The impression I get
is that the basic service costs about the  same  as  DSL  +
POTS,  and any saving is from free long-distance calls.  If
they can do it in your  neighborhood,  and  you  make  many
long-distance calls, you'll probably save money.

Of course, they don't have an incentive to make  sure  that
you save very much money ...  ;-)
