Competitive Local Exchange Companies
The following competitive local telephone companies (CLECs) offer an alternative to FairPoint’s local service in the former Verizon territory. Business customers are more likely to find savings here than residential customers. However, residential customers seeking a package of optional features and pay-as-you-go long-distance, along with local telephone service, may find some of these offers attractive. All rates include a $6.50 line charge where applicable. Compare to FairPoint’s Local Rates — $21.08 for residential customers ($14.69 + $6.39 subscriber line charge) and $38.67 for business customers ($32.28 + $6.39 subscriber line charge).
