Re: What?

said by JonR800 See Profile :

SBC doesn't count, I'd be tied to phone service that I wouldn't use for another $20-$25/month.
The majority of homes still have some form of POTS service. While cellphone-only, VoIP, and/or cableco provided telco services are increasing in popularity, I think they are still in minority. Also don't forgot to treat the competion fairly as well. Many cablecos charge extra for HSI if you don't subscribe to cable as well. Same deal.

Even if you take that into account, Verizon's $15 plan plus basic POTS service is still about $15 cheaper in my neck of the woods then the cheapest Comcast offering (standard list prices are presumed for everything).

If you don't want to go the cheap route and FiOS is available, a 5/2 plan is available with no phone service for $35/month with a 1 year commitment.
