Susie, I have internet (the best Qwest has to offer) and land phone. Total each month is @$71. I don't have problems with internet as a rule, or the phone. But when it does go out for some reason (and there are many, usually associated with the antiquated equipment in this neighborhood), the service is horrible. And, Boo, I'm nice, too, till I've been lied to, neglected and had my service call delayed for 5 days. Then I become a raving B***ch. I have to be concerned about cost - as well as service - as the outgo in this house about meets income head on. I'll be so glad when there's a job at the end of the MOTH's nursing school.
I am still dithering over making a switch, both because of increased cost potentially and because there is no fiber optic here. Cox would be using the same decrepit equipment as Qwest. At this point, I'll only switch if there is something to be gained.
