TCI 4.9/minute

Overall Rating:
5 out of 5
By: Nathan Freeman on Thursday, October 19, 2006
From: Northfield, VT (United States)
Experience: 3 Months
Pros: Really great rate! Dependable service!

Cons: The caller id says "Call Center" -- friends may think your call is from a telemarketer.

Summary: If you are looking for a great long distance rate, TCI is a good choice. You have to dial a toll-free number first, then dial your long distance number. Just put TCI's toll free access number on your speed dial, and away you go. I moved to TCI after giving up on Vonage because of poor audio quality. At 4.9/minute, you can't beat the price, and the audio quality is excellent.

Excellent

From: Meherrin, VA (United States)
Experience: 2 Months
Pros: Excellent service, excellent price. Wish I had switched earlier.

Summary: I saw no difference in service or quality when I switched from MCI--except a much lower price tag! I don't use international service but can vouch for all other services. It appears to be the best deal available for Virginia residents.

long distance provider

Overall Rating:
4.5 out of 5
By: Chad Park on Thursday, August 31, 2006
From: Spokane, WA (United States)
Experience: 3 Months
Pros: good telephone quality, low rates, don't have to pay a monthly pre-determined premium.

Summary: I've tried making phone calls through my computer but sometimes the phone quality isn't very good. Also, problems with the computer program arise and there is no support time. This is much better.

Wish I'd Switched Sooner

Overall Rating:
5 out of 5
By: Susan Johns on Monday, August 28, 2006
From: Villa Grove, IL (United States)
Experience: 90 Days
Pros: No noticable change in service or quality other than dramatically cheaper bills. No hidden fees. Actual customer service reps during all hours of the day.

Cons: None so far.

Summary: Glad that I made the switch. Wish I'd done it sooner. I was referred by a friend who'd been using TCI for a couple of years and finally made the switch.

What a surprise............ No surprises.

Overall Rating:
4.5 out of 5
By: Mark Ruppert on Friday, June 30, 2006
From: Weston, WI (United States)
Experience: 60 Days
Pros: No mystery or minimum charges.

Cons: Sometimes my number isn't displayed on caller ID. Hasn't been a problem yet, but my folks can be fussy about answering the phone, so it could be.

Summary: Haven't made any International calls yet but the voice quality for domestic calls has been fine. I can't rate the customer service department because I haven't had any reason to call them. So you know that's a good thing.
