We are in Florida and under the BellSouth umbrella also and in areas where
there is NO competition we are seeing prices like $1450.00 per month for PRI's
and $750.00 per month for Channelized T-1. In areas where there is competition,
Orlando for example we are getting PRI's from the competition for $425.00 per
month ! Needless to say we are moving off Bell everywhere we can.
