I made some changes on My bill, I have 2 cell phones, Internet Service Local calls. It is combined all in one. do you think that is good? They had a special on Internet, Service, I seen it on TV. 14.99, so I ask the Telephone Operater do they have any promotions? She said they did not have any specials on Internet Services, But they do because I seen it on T.V. today, they really try to sale you things, now why didn't she know that they had a promotion, she told me today, Oh, no we don't have any promotions for 14.99 I am calling the Phone Co. tommorow and tell them I want the special too.
Wouldn't you do that too to try to save money? They are charging me like 27.00 so I half to check on this. Ok, I will chat later. Oh, I forgot to tell you we did get 2 free phones and it has a camera on it. I suppose that is good.

Hi Marcie, I have seen the special promotions too. The $14.99 is for slower internet speed. Make sure you find out what speed that is and what you already have before switching. If you have fast speed now and go down to slow, you will not be happy. Right now we have cable modem, its very fast. I had a special for 6 months for $30, after that it was going to go up to $60 a month for internet. I am getting ready to switch, probably to AT&T. There faster speed is about $30 with AT&T. Also check to see if you have to sign up for a year or more and if there are penelties if you cancel early.

I think we are paying about $35 per month for internet. Our cell phones are with a different company, and they cost us $140 a month combined. We don't have a home phone line.

The $14.99 is for internet alone. By getting everything bundled together you are paying less over all. At&T actually has $10 internet and no not dial-up, but the same thing you can get for $14.95, but you have to sign up for a years worth of service. But if you have the bundled service, you are probably getting a better deal.

I think thats a good offer as here in our country the internet charges are a bit high and its hard we don't get any offers. There are certain service providers that provides some offers but those are very expensive comparing and so less people take it. I think yours is not very expensive and not only that you got a good offer go for it.

An arm and a leg. Sorry, we are paying $183.00 and that includes two isp addresses, digital television included High Definition Tv, and cable, I think we got all the works except for a few channels we do not want. My cell phone is not included. If we lived in Ontario or B.C., and I think there are others, we could get everything included in Rogers, but since we live in Manitoba, our cell phone is separate. Combining is usually good. It could be another company who is offering the promotion and it could be limited to a certain area. Usually these promotions are open to new customers, so even if it were in your area, you would not qualify.

Were paying high but its ok with me, because it is our source of income too. I mean our business is internet cafe so I dont have problems in paying internet bills... mylot and all the other online income is just extra income to us.
But you are lucky for that service. I think its not available in our country because I never heard of taht before.

I went with just local service on my phone for a few months the end of last year and the first part of this year. Then I got contacted and asked if I wanted to do a new, never ending promotion. So I listened. I would get DSL internet, local service, voice mail, caller ID/call waiting caller ID, call waiting, and unlimited long distance (for the US) for $120.39 (taxed and everything) per month. So I took it. I make sure I use that long distance too. AT and T couldn't offer me a great price like that. I am satisfied with my phone deal.

For internet service alone I spend about $30 per month for high speed DSL through my phone line. Of course, that's through Verizon and I always have terrible experiences with Verizon whenever I call for help. I am sure if I saw a special for them on TV I would get someone on the phone who had no idea what they were talking about, too!
If you want, you can read about my verizon experiences in this article: http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/264344/verizon_customer_service_leaves_a_lot.html

Ok, I will, my Husband had Verison but he is switching his phone number over to A.T&T because we just upgraded our phones and they were free, but he wanted his same number.

I am using an Unlimited Internet Connection of 256kbps speed, for which I pay around Rs. 1200, that is around $30 per month, which is quite cheaper for me , for my usage type.
I have now stated looking for some better speed, but the same unlimited connection.
