--- title: Utilities date: '2005-01-03T07:23:22-05:00' permalink: /utilities/ tags: - condo - technology --- So here’s the good news: the utilities transferred easily; everything will be in my name as of tomorrow, no sweat. But there’s one little complication left to be dealt with: the phone. Last time I had a non-college phone, there was no choice whatsoever involved; one went with Verizon, because they were all there was, and while there might have been some illusion of plan-choice, the choices were relatively limited. Now, as I understand it, the situation is quite different: regular phone or VoIP? If regular, Verizon or SBC? Discrete services or a package? I need advice — do you have any to give?
