Many folks selling VOIP appear to behave similarly.

[recalls my relative with AT&T broadband phone service when I get
directly to their voicemail half the time even though no one's on the
phone]

Did I call your baby ugly or something? You seem awfully defensive
about folks saying that VOIP still isn't what a landline is. I don't
think the point is all that arguable. Your skype works great for
you--which is really wonderful. But I've run into a lot of folks
with lousy echoey VOIP lines who stick out for all those pesky real
world internet issues that you can't ignore.
