Re: Analog vs Digital
I actually use Vonage, because Verizon where I live is is $53 a month. I had to have call anywhere in my area code, without that feature I had to pay long distance just to call my friends 3 towns over.
Comcast digital voice is 39.99 non bundled, even though I have HD Digital and Internet they would not give me the 99.99 deal because I already subscribed to the other services before this new package was offered. | |

yup - carrier grade VoIP (Cable) vs. a more 'open' style of VoIP such as Vonage/Packet 8 which uses the public Internet vs. a dedicated private network. I thought about switching, but cost has still been an issue... Cable VoIP such as what TimeWarner or Comcast sells is actually as expensive as my POTS.
AT&T Unlimited local + LD + 3 features = $39.99/month + $4.99 for Canada
TW = $45.99 / month
DSL = $30/month (dsl extreme) for 3/512
TW = $45.99/month for 5/384
DirecTv = $47.95 + $5 + $5 for 3 tuners (digital plus)
TW = $45 + $5 + $5 + franchise fees
basically, I'm saving about $15/month on POTS | |
