I recently got a home and kids cell phone to save money by getting ride of my home phone. The Cells were cheaper.

I have DSL right now and was going to get a new provider.

Well with the cost of the Linksys I need, the installation and a good month of payment. i just cant do it right now.

I need to budget my bills a bit better and with the internet being of the least importance...it will be the first to go along with my home phone.


Soooo, if I take the leap and get it shut off...I may be gone for a while.


i will see how things sit on payday.

So if I disappear for a while....you know why.
You may not car, but you will know why ;)

I did it for a bit over a year (not that most people noticed or gave a flying fuck.)

But if ya go, come back soon.
 
How about having a DSL line in your home for internet and using vonage as your phone service?

You can have DSL without phone service?

why don't you get vonage or cable phone? unlimited calling with vonage for I believe $25 or unlimited calling for $40 with time warner cable...

here, the cable company offers a cable/phone/net deal...you save a ton...
I pay 36 $ for cable, 65$ for Phone/DSL and $70 for 3 cell phones


I wanna ditch the $65 for home phone and pay the 27$ a month for satellite Internet, but need a linksys modem.

My cable company does not provide any other services

Yup. Not a big deal. Most phone companies will sell you the two as a package but you can just get DSL. It will probably be a few $$ month more than the DSL portion of a DSL/Phone service package.

Did they tell you that with satellite internet you have to pay for your equipment?

Mine cost about $600 just for the equipment, but then again, maybe they got some special deal running in your area.
 
I chose the lesser of 2 evils and went with AT&T. My cable co. is owned by the devil.
