Mass hysteria?

My personal opinion:
Some of you guys are getting too worked up over something trivial. There is nothing wrong with pointing out your competitor's weaknesses. If it is done in a tasteful and factual way, it is done all the time. Being "ugly", "nasty", or "mudslinging" is probably taking it too far. But I don't see Nitzan doing that.
As an example, Microsoft runs commercials making fun of Google/Gmail in their "Scroogled" campaign. They criticize that Google scans your email to show you ads. Is that out of bounds? What about the ones that make fun of Chromebooks, saying you can't do "real work" with them?
Another example: Who remembers all those Mac vs. PC commercials where Justin Long made fun of Windows left and right?
What about State Farm commercials that bash the "fly by night" cheaper insurance companies? They imply that anyone who isn't a household name is financially unstable.
Get off your high horses, this stuff isn't that life-changing :) If you don't want to do business with someone, then simply don't do business with them.
Just MY OWN OPINION of course, please don't flame me.
Couldn't agree more.
I personally enjoy reading nitzan's posts. So what if he's opinionated. Aren't we all?
You say that he's not being professional by making his remarks? I for one want to hear his opinion of the competitors. I can make up my own mind as to whether or not I agree with his assessment of the competition.
Please don't try to stifle people from posting their opinions on here, whether it be service providers or just us regular folk.
We should all be so lucky that nitzan and Sam and a few others actually take the time to share their knowledge with us. Please don't try to dissuade them.
I wish other service providers would join the party and give us their opinions and thoughts as well.
Talk about hiney kissin".......... ;D

Anywho....
Has anyone heard any official word from Obihai? They do have a Twitter page.

Mo and Johnny have the right ideas IMO.
I calls 'em like I sees 'em - and hold Nitzan and others who speak openly in high regard because they appear to do the same.
All this P.C. foolishness is for the birds - along with the further nonsense of flaming folks for crossing some sorts of imagined 'netiquette' values.
To all of that silliness I just say=>
Un-puh-fesh-uh-nal mah hiney !!!
SO:
If some young kid is running a VOIP service part-time out of his attic, by himself - charging for it - and passing it off as a dependable company with a long-term commitment=> I'd rather hear that from ANYBODY than to be fooled into paying for something that will be gone in a few months.
Aside of that I did put my money where I found the best combination of pre-existing longevity AND good pricing - and that just happens to be Future Five.
By the same token I do very much believe in giving eager start-ups a chance, so I am also using Circlenet.
Speaking of which, just today I used public Wifi for some calls I am still very impressed with their service and their rates.
As to these companies offering yearly plans with ZERO concrete commitments to keep recurring discounts at renewal=> no thanks.
After all the hoopla - as of 5/22/14 I am still getting & making calls via GV & Obi anyhow - so:
What, me worry ?!?
