Just out of curiosity, do you have any opinion regarding the service and equipment quality of GTE/Automatic Electric vs. the Bell System/ Western Electric? I have no clue. Having lived in GTE territory most of my life, with a couple of years in Ma Bell territory in between, I'd say that the phones themselves were equal. Service was another thing all together. Things got so bad in the late 1970s that the city of Santa Monica considered giving GTE the boot in favor of Pacific Bell. Admittedly, there was always a dial tone, but noise on the lines was horrible, and getting any kind of service problem taken care of was very slow. They eventually improved, thank Dog, before we started hooking up modems! It's now Verizon. Service is great. Bureaucracy stinks. Regards, -DAve |
