Cable Company VoIP Information
By Jason Christensen
Recently many Internet service providers such as Comcast and WOW have
started offering VoIP service as a package price plan when you purchase their
cable. If you are already paying for Cable TV and High Speed Internet from the
cable company don't be tricked into adding VoIP from them also. Cable and
traditional phone companies are realizing that VoIP is here to stay and want to join
in.
Many people see the initial savings over traditional phone service and think they
are getting a good deal, however many times they are paying almost double for
VoIP just to have a single bill for all three services.
Comcast charges $39.95 a month for their unlimited VoIP service compared to
$16.58 for VoIP service through SunRocket if you pay yearly. Probably the most
well known and best VoIP service provider available is Vonage and they charge
$24.99 for unlimited calling. WOW charges about $35.00 a month depending on
the package you purchase. As you can see using the cable companies for your
VoIP needs can cost you $23.00 more a month just to keep your Cable, Internet,
and Phone on one bill. The VoIP service that the cable companies are offering is
usually no better than most VoIP providers out there regardless of what the
telemarketer tells you.
Cable Company VoIP Provider Information:
• Comcast Digital Voice: Comcast offers an unlimited US & Canada calling
package for $39.95 a month when you purchase their high speed Internet service.
If you would like to keep your existing Internet service from a competitor then the
price jumps to $54.95. The main selling point for Comcast is the promise of calls
traveling across proprietary Comcast lines, which allows for higher quality and
reliability than calls from upstarts that travel exclusively across the public Internet.
Comcast quality and reliability have yet to be proven compared to other
competitive VoIP providers.
• Wide Open West (WOW): WOW offers two choices, the WOW phone Basic and
Advanced plans. The basic service offer unlimited calling in the US with Call
Waiting, Call Forwarding, 3Way Calling, and Call Return(*69). The Advanced
plan offers the same features as the basic plan and Caller ID, Repeat Dial,
Selective Call Forwarding, and Voice Mail. The Basic plan costs around $25.00 a
month when you purchase their high speed Internet service. The Advanced plan
costs around $30.00 a month when you purchase their high speed Internet
service. WOW does not offer VoIP unless you purchase Internet service from them.
• Bright HouseNetworks: Bright house offers what they call Digital Phone for their
VoIP plan. The plan offers unlimited calling in the US with Call Waiting, Call
Forwarding, 3Way Calling, and Call Return(*69), Caller ID, Repeat Dial, and
Selective Call Forwarding. The plan costs $39.99 a month when you purchase
their high speed Internet service or $49.99 if you use your existing Internet service
provider.
• Time Warner: Time Warner offers what they call Digital Phone for their VoIP
plan. The plan offers unlimited calling in the US with Call Waiting, Call Forwarding,
3Way Calling, and Call Return(*69), Caller ID, Repeat Dial, and Selective Call
Forwarding plus a few more. The plan costs $39.99 a month when you purchase
