Hmm, here my cable bill (without the Internet) is $91 a month, for the remainder of the year. Was like $96 for digital+ and 2 premium channels, but there was a special where I get all the channels for $5 less now, so
In Albuq, Comcast charges $10 for the digital box, and there isn't an additional charge (well the + has one, but includes more channels over basic digital). Still $10 is more then $7... They could price different in different areas. Number of channels might or might not be a consideration too, though lineups would have to be compared from different areas to say...
Nah, I don't have Vonage, as I have aDSL... Wouldn't save me a phone, one bit. I had a former classmate who did get it, and apperently one can use their old phone number or get a new one. He chose the latter, as being a poor college student, who also had a wife, bill collectors were getting after him. He wanted a number they couldn't find...
BTW, before Vonage, cell phones served a bit of competition for the land line. Many people figured out that the cell phone would be cheaper, all things said, so many people locally got their cell as their only phone, and skipped the land line altogether. I know of people who did that a few years back...
