And on second thought, if there isn't much demand for it, then what's the problem offering it to those who do? It won't damage their business and marketing plan too much if only a few want it, and it really can't be a whole lot harder than changing a few settings in their billing software.
The old "flip a switch" argument huh? I suspect making a few changes to billing software requires a whole lot more time, effort, and money than you think it does.

I've always said, if the phone companies thought they could make a profit on naked DSL they'd offer it. Period.

I'd drop local (almost 40$) a month
How do you get your local up to $40 per month, if you never use it?

My local, with all fees & taxes, is less than $20. Of course I will not bite on their bundle phone service promotions.

Sounds like you are paying for more that just a local land line.

I get my DSL for $19.96 and only have what is absolutely necessary to get the local line. I did add the $4 for 60 minutes of long distance about a month ago. My total bill, DSL, local, distance, is only about $45.

Basically I have a $22 local line with 60 minutes of long distance + $20 DSL.

I'm in the same boat...I'd drop my land line like a hot potato given the first opportunity. And on second thought, if there isn't much demand for it, then what's the problem offering it to those who do? It won't damage their business and marketing plan too much if only a few want it, and it really can't be a whole lot harder than changing a few settings in their billing software. Hell, they might even gain a few customers. I fail to see why these companies have an issue with doing this unless there truly is demand and they are afraid of losing something by offering the choice.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13482177 Tue, 24 May 2005 11:00:46 EDT i'd drop http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13481441 Maxeh : I'd drop local (almost 40$) a month, faster then your leetest curry (teh scene joke).

rarely anyone in my home uses the home telephone line, so if i had the option of converting it to a $20 voip line, i'd jump right on it]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13481441 Tue, 24 May 2005 09:05:22 EDT
