Our cable provider where we live is Cox Communications.
I also recently dumped my landline we did have with Cox, in favor of a VOIP service (T-Mobile @ Home) I added on to our T-Mobile cell service for an additional $10 per month, which includes long distance. It works well.
It was simple to set-up. I just plugged our existing set of cordless phonesets (which are placed throughout the house) into the router T-Mo provided and nothing in practical usage changed ... except of course, the price. We save something over $20 per month by the change, depending on what our long distance bill might have been with the cable landline.
We also put our entire T-Mo bill in my wife’s name so we get an additional 12% discount off the total, corporate discount, due to the hospital where she works. Cox isn’t offering any corporate discount, I might add. I wish T-Mobile would offer broadband internet!
We dropped our landline two years ago and went solely with cell phones. Our son and the wife’s sister and her husband have also gone that route. I’ve never looked back. I’m saving about $100/month. Happy guy...
