Finance: Re-evaluating Phone and Internet Service
I made a post about my thoughts concerning the price of Long Distance Phone Service and how I’m trying to reduce my monthly expenditures. I switched to a cheaper unlimited long distance service in February, but find myself re-evaluating my bills again.
Right now I pay per month:
Digital Cable and Cable Internet: $111
Verizon Local Service: $60 (still haven’t been able to get this reduced)
AT&T Long Distance: $40
Total of: $210/month
However Comcast (my cable provider) has a deal where you can get Digital Cable, Cable Internet, and Phone for $99/month. I haven’t investigated their phone service yet, which I will do this week, but I imagine it’s a VoIP service with unlimited long distance and local service (if it’s not, I’ve no clue what they would even be trying to do in the phone business). This would save me over $100/month. And I could deal with crappy VoIP service (considering my father and I both have cellphones in case of emergencies) in order to save that much money each month. Though so far I haven’t heard any complaints.

I work for the company that sells that deal. You don’t qualify for it if you already have the digital and internet.
The only thing you can do is add the phone, which is 39.95/mo, and does included unlimited local and calling within North America.

[…] “Triple Play” offer (digital cable, internet, and voIP for $33/each), because someone mentioned I was not eligible because I am already a customer. He said that I was in fact eligible, but that the voIP service is not available in my area yet, […]
