I'm spending about $95/month for Comcast's digital silver package (most digital channels, HDTV plus HBO). My phone bill from Vz is about $130/mo which includes two POTS lines (one carries the DSL), Internet, and long distance. The Comcast sales rep compared my current Comcast service and quoted me a bundled price for my current cable package plus a voice line plus Internet for $150/month. The difference is $75/month plus some one-time set up fees for the Internet and phone.
My big concern is putting my voice comm over Comcast's Internet service. I've NEVER picked up the Vz phone and not gotten dial tone. How does that compare to Comcast's service? I assume the voice quality is at least as good as Verizon's. Also, can you use a FAX machine with Comcast? What about a home burglar alarm like ADT and Brinks that "call" a central monitoring site?
