While competition has made some progress, we still pay so much for the most basic stuff. You hear wishpers about FIOS & other cool tech. but nothing happens as the years pass by. Most people pay even more than what I pay and that without even thinking about it. So I decided to create this post. Here is what I pay.
Including all taxes and surcharges
------------------------------------------
Phone: $28 Vonage
Internet Service: $28 RR Lite
Cell Phone: $43 Verizon 450
TV: $16 Time Warner Basic 27
-------------------------------------------
Total: $114
-------------------------------------------
What I would like my bill to look like:
--------------------------------------------
Phone: $23 Packet8
Internet Service $18 SBC DSL
Cell Phone $34 450 Verizon with free JAVA no
BREW
TV: $23 Comedy Central, FX, Local Chan
----------------------------------------------
Total: $98
----------------------------------------------
Look strange!! Well this is because such a plan is just not avilable anywhere. The biggest differences as you can see is the TV and Verizon DSL. TV is my choice of channels not the whole bunch I surf right through. Cell Phone has 450 mins, free gaming enabled with a good signal. This is not avilable and the money keeps going up instead of coming down!! When will this dream come true!!
