| Bundling can work well
I bundle local, ld, dsl, directv and wireless with Qwest. I pay $35 for local with features, $16 unlimited ld, $32 for 3meg DSL, $5 off of DirecTV (which I have had for over 10 years, why not get the discount?), and the $5 discount on the wireless. BTW, I just noticed that DSL modems are half off with online order.
Let me say this about Qwest wireless. I have had numerous providers over the years. I know Qwest uses Sprint to provide service, but Qwest must have more roaming agreements than anyone else I have ever used. I have the Cross Country Plus plan, which means no roaming charges. My daughter is in college, and her friends are amazed at the places she can get a call out while they can't. She has friends with Cingular, Verizon, Sprint (also Cricket, but they don't count) and her phone works much better than any of theirs, all around the region. So I would say that, while not the cheapest, Qwest wireless is the best, and never had a service or billing issue.

| Maybe I'm reading this wrong, but you're paying $35 + $16 for local phone service, so that's $51. Hardly what I'd call a "deal".
I would have gone with VOIP service from my cable company, Wide Open West, but they are priced way above the competition. Even with bundling discounts, it works out to $35/mo.
Vonage, ATT CallVantage, etc. are selling the same thing for $15 - $25/mo.
The good thing about bundling VOIP with internet is hopefully there is a better VOIP QoS within the ISPs network. I notice SpeakEasy won't sell their VOIP unless you are already a SE internet customer. Probably a smart move, less complaints that way. | |

Order pots, it gets installed, I then ported the local number over to vonage. Done.
Probably makes mr bell mad though. | |
