| Bundling....big deal
I don't understand why bundling of services by broadband providers is such a hot button issue. It's not as if bundling of services is new. It's been around for ages in lots of areas. We get a discount on our car insurance by bundling it with our home owner's policy. We've been getting a discount on premium channels by buying more than one for more than 20 years. We got a discount on new doors by getting them at the same time we got the new windows. And it's long been the case with the different services from the phone company. Big whoop.
On the other hand, I would no more get ALL of my communication services from one company than I would put all my money in one bank.

| Here's what I have:
Voice - Packet8 ($24.18)
Cell - Sprint ($40.09)
TV - Dish Network ($78)
Data - ACD.net ($48.20)
No one in my area even offers triple play since Comcast doesn't offer VoIP here yet and AT&T doesn't do video. I don't think I'd ever be interested in a triple or quadruple play offering. |
