Re: $40 a month?
They're smoking something...I think I'd have to be smoking something as well.
Problems with this service:
1. Internet and/or VoIP REQUIRES purchase of MS IPTV service  Cable will allow this
2. No 'signup' deals ? TW Cable triple play deals start at $90 / month (sure, add in ~ $12/month for a couple more TVs), but it at least comes with 6Mbps service, not 1.5!
3. Why isn't AT&T also promoting Call Vantage VoIP... if they want subscribers, its almost half the price.

Cable is famous for these. The other vendors (Satellite, FIOS, Uverse) not so much. I don't know why.

It's a very different market. See my post above. |

| I don't know... Vonage is typically attempting to compare itself with telco products. I suspect that AT&T just doesn't want to lower its bottom line (i.e. why sell a $25/month product, when for very little, we can promote a $40/month product).

I know someone that has the FTTP service of AT&T in MI. Everyone always claims that TV must be purchased with the HSI but thats not the case. The only thing my friend ordered was HSI and Phone. No TV at all. And had the option of just getting HSI as well but VZW doesnt have great service inside his house. |

| If I could ORDER (not order then cancel after its installed B.S.), I might try it out, and move my phone to VoIP.
Since I HAVE to order it all to do anything, I might as well wait until my DirecTv contract is up, and then see what's available, and who will give me the best deal.
