What is a "home phone"?

Is that something left over from the 20th century?

It's something required to have internet service at a somewhat reasonal & reliable clip around here.

They don't offer DSL or cable there?

Yes, but home phone is required for DSL. I can't get cable where I am located, not that I would want it but that's another topic.

Depends on the area some places have dry line DSL (aka naked DSL). However they jack up the price so that it is not much of a saving.

Pageplus is awfullll. They are having serious system problems now (their website was down yesterday). Many accounts got de-activated and are in limbo. Try calling their CS number, you'll get "All circuits are busy" all day long. I called 20 times before finally getting through... and was then greeted with a 15 minute wait before the the CS person said "sorry there's nothing we can do about this issue now, try again later today".

These clowns do not have their act together at all.

Net10 is horrible unless you speak Spanish and I'm not being derogatory.


Boost is very easy to deal with and their web site actually works.
