I would like to know if anyone has had any experience with RCI Long
Distance, a subsidiary of Rochester Tel, either good or bad.  They are
offering a new program, Empire 750, designed for people who call
mostly within New York State.  Their rates to anywhere within the
state are $.13/min daytime and $.11/min evenings and nights.  These
are significantly cheaper than AT&T's intrastate rates.  They are
further sweetening the offer by discounting the first month's bill by
50%, switching you over for free, and switching you back after 60 days
if you are not satisfied.  This sounds like a very good deal, but how
is the quality of their lines, and their billing?
