Re: Bundled services
said by rtkeen  :Vonage offers bundled services. Maybe it is a case of semantics, but I tend to view Vonage as offering bundled features versus bundled services. If one looks at the video, data, and voice triad as services, Vonage only offers one - voice and also requires that the customer already has a data service for connectivity.
While YMMV, the features of my voice services from SBC and Vonage are pretty much equivalent (not including e911), with my monthly Vonage bill at 40% of the voice portion of my SBC bill. Then again, SBC is a stand alone service and Vonage requires that I purchase broadband service from a third party in order to be functional. Total monthly cost for Vonage would need to include some kind of allocation of broadband cost for anything resembling an apples to apples comparison. |
