Calling Hawaii and Africa on AT&T recently, I have had trouble with
delays.  The other person and I get confused about who is talking
because of the delays, and we both talk at the same time, or we have
long pauses in the conversation waiting for the other person to talk.

I thought that someone in the Digest indicated that AT&T was superior
to the other long-distance companies in this respect.  Is that
superiority limited to the lower 48 where AT&T has a better network?
Don't all the LD companies use basically the same network once you get
outside the continental US?
