I'm considering this b/c we pay way too much for all our services right now. I'd like to budle the internet, phone and cable. Right now all we have are the internet and phone together and its almost $100 by itself!! I'm going to look into combining them though...we're just spending way too much.

I have my DSL internet and phone together for just under $60/month. I have basic cable separate. Guess it's a pretty good deal compared to some.

My opinion....Do what you think is the least expensive and worth it for you. I have done so much switching around that I finally just gave up and now we have a land line that runs us $40 a month and Cable Internet that is $27 if I added Cable it would be another $35 for basic. We do not watch that much tv for it to be worth it and when we do I usually pop in a movie for the kids. Good luck!

We bundle Dish,phone/unlimited long distance and DSL for $122.00 If I had a cell phone I could include that in as well. We supposdly save $4.00 per month with each service by bundeling. It is easier and I could never go back to dialup again!!

We bundle cable and internet. I know with our company if you are paying regular price for your services and they are running a special, they will give you that special price on your services. We have a landline phone and we get a rebate on that because we have two children on WIC. If you have children on WIC, see if your phone service will give you a rebate. In our area it's called Lifeline, it may be called something else, but it saves us several dollars a month for the same service.

My home phone, cell phones, and satellite are all bundled because I get discounts. My internet is not. I could have gotten a discount if I had got their cable, but my satellite was much cheaper and I wouldn't have saved any money.

That's the deal we have. Dh can't part w/dish and it does work out to be cheaper than getting all of the services seperate! I also have the dvr feature at that price.

This is pretty much our only extravagance.

We bundle too through Cox. We have digital cable, phone and high speed internet service for $136. I heard the prices are supposed to be going up next year, though.
