MCI is back. Please, try to contain your excitement. Disgraced Worldcom emerged from bankruptcy in April 2004 and officially reverted to the MCI name. Unfortunately, while MCI was held captive in the belly of the WorldCom beast, the long-distance market got both smaller and more competitive. How will MCI fare? Hard to say.

At this point, the best deal for most consumers is to buy their local and long-distance service from their longtime local phone company -- the "Bell Company." Most local carriers are offering a flat monthly rate that includes local and long-distance service and a bundle of extras like Call Waiting, Caller ID, etc.

At one time, MCI was perhaps passable. But after being infected with WorldCom's Enron-style wheeling and dealing, we'd rather go elsewhere, thanks anyway.

Oh, and don't forget that pesky $3.5 million fine for slamming, biggest of its kind ever ... or the $8.5 million settlement in California.
