I've seen no evidence that the product is substantially improved.  It
is still slow, difficult to use and mostly undocumented.

The real problem for me is GTE's past billing problems.  I would be
willing to risk charges on > 30 months, but I am not willing to risk
GTE managing to get the billing correct.  Sprint and PC Puruit have
both been famous in the past for billing problems.
