Re: Hey ma ya can't call me anymore!!!

Welllll...Maybe it's just me, but I never have understood just WHY I should bother with VOIP, especially when it costs the same-if not more-as plain old POTS service. And, once the government starts with their usual taxes and fees.

I suppose some people will go for any ripoff, pie in the sky techie stuff, as long as it is "bleeding edge".

It actually costs less than a pots line. I was paying the bell 75$ for a basic line with no LD and Caller ID, along with DSL Lite (256K/128K) a month. Plus my per minute fees for long distance

Now I'm paying $70 a month for a fully featured phone...unlimited long distance, and 6MB/768K internet.

With the promotion I'm on I'm paying 20$ for the next 6 months for internet, My 1st month is free for internet, and I get a free month of phone service for each person I refer...which is 3 so far.

So long run - Bellsouth = 900 year.
Comcast/Lingo = 600 year (including promotion and referrals)

$300 in savings...or $25 a month.

It may not seem like a big savings, but then look at the feature set. Unlimited long distance...every feature available...and the best internet speed available...at a lower cost than what I was paying the Bell.
