Ok, now that I have the phone problem solved via a better phone...I want a better situation for internet. Currently, I am paying $60.00/month for JUST internet service alone (Comcast) which seems absolutely ridiculous. I don't care for SBC because I heard they suck. (My brother had them as well)
ryangemwitch suggested VoIP so I took it upon myself to do a little research and it sounds great only I haven't beat the $60.00/month yet. There was a service plan for $85.00/month to have the phone line via the internet connection but that is getting more expensive instead of cheaper. Course, I have only just begun the research, so we'll see. It wouldn't be bad to have phone line as a backup. Her cell phone still isn't working inside the apartment.
Any suggestions besides Ryan's (for those who live in Chicago area)? In particular I'm interested in internet connection. VoIP would be great if we end up paying less than $60/month.
Seems $60.00/month could be beat though. I think Comcast is getting absolutely ridiculous. They have some special going for $19.00/month for four months for existing cable customers, but I guess until I call tomorrow, I don't know if that cable is referring to television. We have DIRECTV, so we don't need their high expensive cable tv service...and we got it for much less than paying them $87.00/month. Shoot...that was a basic package with maybe one or two HBO's included.
Anyway, I await some suggestions!!
Thanks in Advance!
