Re: Windstream DSL Package Prices
A few factors and if you look at WS pages they are filled with disclaimers to confirm to yourself what I say.
1) There are special prices for new customers.
2) Disclaimer for your location
3) In general you save $5 a month for every bundled service your add.
Here is my example here in North Florida, excluding any specials for new service.
3/384 is normally $34.95, bundled it's $29.95
There are also "secret" bundles so ask a LOT of questions, take 30 min to an hour to go over what is possible for you with WS sales. For example I found out that by adding Connect Unlimited to my primary phone, my second line was $10 with 3 good features and got free long distance, a huge savings. Add into that the first line was now "free" included in the connect unlimited calling plan.
Or you may find Greenstreak and get VOIP from another carrier as a better deal. I think but not sure that your plan would go to $39.95 on Greenstreak, but you dump your regular phone. Local calls are all 10 cents a minute, but 911 and 800 calls are included, and you can use a calling card over a GreenStreak phone. (comes with 3/384 at that price).
To answer your question $34.95 is the average WS price for unbundled service with a regular phone.
So if you really curious, sharpen a pencil, grab a pad and call WS. You could very well end up with more features for the same money or an totally different plan as suggested above.
