[BBLISA] Cable/phone/Internet post promo costs?

[Scott Ehrlich]

My wife and I are looking at the various competitive offering from RCN, 
Comcast, and Verizon FIOS.

At least Comcast and Verizon offer P+C+I for $100/month the first year, then at 
least Comcast goes up $20 - 40/month beyond the promo.

- What is the average cost increase, per month, people have seen for FIOS and 
RCN after their promo periods?

- How has overall service (customer and offerings) been?


Do RCN's and/or Comcast's voice offerings connect or require access to or 
through their cable modem, or is the voice hookup via twisted pair?
I don't want to have to unplug my home phones and plug them in somewhere else. 
I'd like to keep twisted pair phones where they are and have the service swap 
be transparent to me.


Anything other real-world experiences are most welcome.

Thanks.

Scott
