can you still choose the long distance carrier? when I came to US in mid 1990's I had Bell Atlantic as local provider and I was shopping around between long distance providers, MCI, ATT, etc. I think there was a 3rd carrier as well for regional calls, not local but not quite distance. I gave up my copper line a few years ago, and even before that all my outgoing calls were VOIP so I haven't used a copper line for outgoing calls in about 10 years.
