:$49 (all distance) + $20 ( 1.5/384 dsl ) + $10 (misc taxes and universal slush fund ) = ~$79
or
$52 ( 4/384 Comcast HSI ) + $20 (Packet8) = ~$72
So Comcast delivers over 3 times faster downloads and Packet8 offers more calling features for $7 less per month than SBC.
And Comcast is actually available in too rural for DSL Coloma township.
Sure looks like a good deal either way to me. This is called COMPETITION. Some people will be scared off from VOIP because of poor uptime/911 issues, and others hate cable or phone so much they will go to the other no matter what. Either way looks like a win to consumers to me.
