Bundle and save? Phone companies and cable companies are pushing the bundle as the best thing since sliced bread. We don't. Compare our unbundled rates vs. the phone company and the cable company for a typical phone and high speed internet service. And if we ever introduce bundle discounts, things will be even cheaper (although it's pretty hard to go lower!).
