I got the "in writing" information that I had requested. It consisted
of mostly propoganda about the quality of their lines, the NAMES of
all of their "plans" and SOME rates. Absolutely NO comparison, and NO
INDICATION that their plans and rates are better. It would take the
better part of a day, a good spreadsheet or statistical program, and
all the rates of other systems to figure out which is best.

In short, their "in writing" campaign is just so much smoke.
