Re: It's not hard to see where landline customers are

said by aaronwt See Profile :

The telcos are at a disadvantage because of taxes. Taxes on my landline from Verizon are almost $12. If I switched to Comcast taxes would be under $2.
This is one of the reasons I'm in the process of dropping my landline and just using my cell number.
I'd venture a guess that bundle pricing is the bigger incentive luring people away. With the triple play products offered it many times allows people to drop their phone costs to about zero for the bundle term.

That and less taxes is a big thing these days.

For me (and I suspect many others), it all depends on the bottom line.

TWC gives a good deal at $89 triple play.
AT&T attempts to offer triple play at $90, but then then haven't deployed VoIP, so its null and void.

Taxes/fees aren't that far off between Telco and CableCo. One has lots of taxes/unfees, the other has franchise fees.

Personally, if I had a decent unlimited cellphone plan, I'd drop cable altogether, and use OTA HD.
