$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.
I would take a hard line phone line anyday over VOIP (if that is what Packet8 is) at this point. VOIP just isn't quite there for me.

He included Packet8. I'm not sure what their $20 plan is, but other VOIP providers at least do unlimited domestic calling at that rate.
