Was there any aggressive pricing given for nationwide voip LD?

I just lost an Internet customer today who has 6 voice and 2 fax business 
lines.  He is moving to McLeod (regional bankrupt CLEC) for both voice and 
data.  They are putting in a T1 and giving him 2.2 cents a minute for 
nationwide LD.  He had to sign a 3 year contract.  The CLEC battle is 
heating up here.  I can't compete when I have to pay more than that for 
VOIP LD calls that terminate on POTS.
