Not a good idea IMHO

The plan is to tie you up with one company so completely, the hassle of changing four services at once becomes a deterrent for switching service and reduces their customer churn. That and the fact the bundled prices allow them to make price comparisons more difficult.

From their side it's a grand 'ole plan.

Everyone wants to do triple/quad play - even if they have to partner up:

Eg. SBC
Cable TV - Dish
Internet - SBC/Yahoo
Phone - SBC
Wireless - Cingular (joint owned by SBC and Bell South)
