I found that there's a significant difference in call quality when
calling Japan from Dayton, OH between AT&T and MCI.  I used to use
MCI, and I had to put up with frequent dropouts, noise, etc.  This
seemed to happen on just about every call I made.  I switched to AT&T,
and the dropouts disappeared completely and the noise is now quite
tolerable.  I'd like to know if anyone else has had the same
experience, or if mine is an isolated case.
