Yeah, true, but I think that the taxes on the phone line are 5-10 more. So if you cut out the phone and can get a double play saving $5, then you may save another 5 in taxes, plus if he gets rid of 1 STB and uses a DCT instead of another, that will add up to around $20 less total (counting having a VOIP line).

OP -- you may want to call VZ and say that you are thinking about cancelling

your phone. I did that and they offered me $10 off per month on the spot (I still cancelled since I never used that number, and went back to a double play).
Yes, I forgot about the taxes, mine were over $11 a month.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Lower-Bill-22647806 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 22:54:49 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Lower-Bill-22647776 said by rmckofke:

didnt they offer you a bundle discount on those boxes? I have a total of 6 boxes (1 hd dvr, 5 SD STBs) and three of them are part of a bundled discount, the other 2 are 5.99 each. I forget the actual amount but I think the bundle knocks 2 or 3 bucks off each box.

Maybe consider replacing one of yours with a simple digital adapter?
I think that 3 for was only in NY region, not across the footprint.

I already suggested the digital adapter (4th post in this thread).

If it is $10 then that is one thing, but if it is $50 then that is totally different.

Do you absolutely need the phone?

You can get rid of that number, cancel the phone and get a VOIP line (like Vonage, etc.) for $25/mo. or less. There is also a chance you can 'port' the number and keep it, but that is harder to do sometimes.

Then get a cheaper double play bundle. Plus get rid of 1 or 2 STB if you can deal with that.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Lower-Bill-22643983 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 09:50:43 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Lower-Bill-22643868 www22.verizon.com/residential/bu···undlesab , fill out your info, and see what's available.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Lower-Bill-22643868 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 09:21:13 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Lower-Bill-22643852 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Lower-Bill-22643852 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 09:17:32 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Lower-Bill-22643496

Keep in mind that the DCT-700 does not have a guide, no VOD, and no widgets (in other words nothing IP based).

Taxes on Cablevision should be comparable, percentage wise, so you're looking at a $10/mo difference ($99.99 vs $89.95) for phone, Internet, and TV.

How many STBs does Cablevision offer? What Internet tier does Cablevision include for that price?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Lower-Bill-22643107 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 01:33:21 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Lower-Bill-22643017 Renewal Deal?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Lower-Bill-22643017 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 00:53:12 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Lower-Bill-22642983
- Verizon Freedom Essentials $29.01
- FiOS Internet 20/5 $30.99
- FiOS TV Extreme HD $39.99

Cablevision offered me $29.95 a month for three services (total of $89.85) for two years and said that they will pay the $200 cancellation fee from Verizon.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Lower-Bill-22642983 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 00:38:50 EDT
