That's what it was like here back in the day (1980-1990's). We were on
the southern edge of our zone (about 25-30km), and calling to the
northern edge of the next zone, meant the above community STD....
 

How things have now changed. I no longer have a land line, and only a
mobile. My internet is provided over fixed wireless (not the WIFI that
computers use), as I'm 12Km out of town.
