Hi Rich et yall.

Could you please detail for me [us] your 'calling patterns' So I can
determine why you paid higher rates than ATT rates when you tried out
Sprint???  Which rate schedules did you compare?  (e.g. Sprint Plus
vs. Reach Out or normal rates?)

What exchanges were you calling from and to?

What was the disconnect rate?  When and how many calls?

(You didn't expect the Spanish Inquisition, did you?)

Thanks.

BTW, if any of you other telecom cats encounter this type o problem
(or others) with Sprint, and it turns out to be a True Fact that
Sprint is at stonewalling or at fault, I'll try to harangue the answer
out of them!

(This doesn't include complaints in certain Bay Area exchanges; does
anyone have a list of the ownership and switch-type of different bay
area exchanges; or Boston area exchanges for that matter?  (Hello,
jsol?)

As for Mr. Higdon being "vindicated" ...  by GTE switch local telcos?
My guess is that John would rather vindicate the Bay Area *from* GTE
switches.
