Correct.  They have, however, made claims about quality.  For
instance, they claim that they will put your call through faster than
other carriers.  I have invited AT&T to put this claim in writing,
most specifically including quantifying how much faster.  They
promised to do so.  They have not done so.  It would appear that this
ox gets gored on both sides (it will not last the night).
