Bundles Gone Wild: Unmasking Phone Company Deals
Exploring the Truth Behind "Phone TV DSL" Offers
When you see ads for "Phone TV DSL" from companies like SBC Global, it might sound like a great deal. Historically, compared to older offerings, it seems to be. But when you dive deeper, and do a bit of research yourself, you’ll likely discover that it's not the best option available.
SBC’s advertised package?"bundling telephone, DSL, and satellite TV for around $75 a month?"comes with strings attached. The catchy price is just a hook; the actual cost is higher, and you’re locked into a contract.
Why a Little Research Pays Off
By investing about an hour in research, you can unearth better deals that save you significant money each month. Although you might need to manage separate bills, the savings make it worthwhile.
Breaking Down the Costs
Consider the basic services you’re seeking: phone, TV, and internet. Let’s explore these individually:
- Satellite TV: With Dish Network, expect $19.99 per month for the first three months. Afterwards, it jumps to $31.99, plus $5 for DVR service in two rooms. Movie channels range from $12 to $40 monthly. So, a basic package with two DVRs totals $36.99.
- Internet Services: DSL or cable broadband from providers like Comcast and EarthLink may cost initially between $19.99 and $29.99 for the first three to six months, based on your area. It typically climbs to about $45 after promotional periods.
- Phone Services: Vonage offers broadband VoIP at roughly $15 per month for unlimited local calls and 800 long distance minutes?"and this isn’t a promotional deal; it’s their standard rate.
In total, you’d pay around $55 per month for all these services initially, which is $20 cheaper than SBC’s offer. Ultimately, your cost would remain under $100 for the same combined services.
The Takeaway
Next time you're shopping for bundled services, remember that a DIY approach to bundling can yield significant savings. Spending a few minutes each month on separate bill payments is a small effort for substantial financial benefits.
Investing just an hour of your time once a year can lead to better deals and impressive savings.
