I only have the residential service, which allows calls after 5:00pm until
8:00am the next day, and all day on weekends.  Only about 2% of all calls 
have trouble getting connected, but the lines are always noisier than Ma Bell
(although the standard deviation is enough that you can usually get another
line by calling again which will suffice). About 10% of the time the line is
too noisy to use, but this may be a function of distance (I call about 1600
miles).

I'd say that MCI is a good deal, because it costs about 5/8 as much as regular
phone service. Remember that if you do get it, it's cheaper even than the
WATS line from school.
