About 6 years ago just before I started a BBS of my own, I made a 1-800 call 
from Canada to the States.  The number reached a company in Texas. I was 
absolutely astonished on how crystal clear the connection was; the person 
sounded like they were on extension phone in my house.  Other local calls 
within my city were never ever as clear.   Apparently the 1-800 company said 
that they were with AT&T.
