Voice service is still far cheaper here than in europe, same with long distance.
For the UK to call the US is 28.95 cents a min, plus a 20 cent connection charge.
For me to call from my local telco (CenturyLink) here to the UK is 7 cent a min to landlines, or 26 cents per min for mobiles.
I know LD resellers from which I could get even lower rates, this is just incombent to incombent.

- Aloha 14y agoComperable to what you can get for unlimited ADSL from providers like earthlink, I should also note, that based on what I know, those prices are for capped service, versus unlimited for most american ADSL. That said, one thing Europe does beat us on is footprint, only a very small percentage here has real broadband access (sat access doesnt count). But that is the nature of the differences in population density.
- anigbrowl 14y agoThat's true, but I don't think the caps are that important. I looked into my usage while grumbling about my cable bill and was surprised to discover that I only use 30-35gb/mo.
- Aloha 14y agoI dont think they are either, to be honest, though I prefer uncapped. That said, I want to compare apples to apples.
