Well, once you add in my $39 Vonage VOIP

TV and are paying for that also).

Oh, don't feel too bad. I've only
got 3.0/1.0 via Comcast cable on
this semi rural small mountain I live
on. But, I'm happy with it
given my bill is $59 / month with
basic TV service (that I don't
use).
Now you've done it. For my phone and
internet bundle, I pay $83/month--and
that's with a $15 "lifetime" package
discount from 2005 tossed in.
I was amazed that were I to change to
the lowest tier of POTS service and
add "Caller ID" ($10/month) and lowest
level DSL, my bill would be roughly
the same after taxes. I'm amazed that
"caller ID" costs CL anything, but
it's one of the highest-priced
add-ons. BTW, I'm also paying
$2/month for long-distance service to
Mexico, even though I've never called
nor received a call from there.
Sigh.
