Dial-up ISP tale
Suddenly remembering that time I had to explain to a customer why their dial-up Internet access quit working.
It wasn't because they got Vonage. Not per se.
Remember those woo-hoo "people do stupid things" commercials? Yeah, them. Vonage is a VoIP service which, like all VoIPs, needs high-speed Internet access to work.
It was because they canceled their expensive telco/DSL bundle in favor of the cheaper Vonage for phone calls and dial-up Internet.
