Recently I had a representative from the cable company come along and offer me a deal to bundle my phone, internet connection, and cable all in one. The catch was I had to sign a 2 year deal. Currently, my phone is not a contract (month to month) and my internet and cable are not under contract (month to month as well.) The advantage to having the contract for 2 years is to protect against price increases, but my rates haven't really risen in years anyways.
Anyone have thoughts about savings by bundling services together? I did the math and it would save about $5 a month, but to me, I'd rather have the freedom of no contract versus a 2 year deal with a $20 "buy in" installation fee AND and $150 cancellation fee rider.
Do you use Vonage?> Their prices have been going up steadily and I'm not happy about it. I considered switching services with another VOIP provider or my cable company, or even trying something like having just my cell phone in place of a home phone. I guess if you're getting a good deal you should look into it, unless you';re thinking about cancelling a service relatively soon. Then probably not so much.
Actually, yes I do. There's a few things that bug me about the cable company's phone service, and Vonage has actually been really reliable for me, so I think I'll stay put for now. The salesman was a little pushy, but when I stopped to think about it, I get flyers every two weeks in the mail begging me to switch, so the "offer" he was trying to sell me on certainly isn't going away.
