Hurumph. When I was subletting an apartment this summer, my landlady
switched to Working Assets from AT&T because she wanted a "socially
responsible" carrier.

In the three months I was in the apartment, I could not make one
decent LD phone call over their network. I have never had that problem
when I used just straight Sprint, however.

The funniest part was when she came and told us about the switch,
claiming she had changed from those "awful, irresponsible bandits" at
AT&T to the angels at WA (her words in quotes)

Sigh.
