Holy Cow !! Until now, I did not realize how much we spend on communications... at $2640 a year this might need to be re-evaluated. |

*I listed AT&T broadband twice because they are unable to combine our cable and internet service into one bill. So I treat them as the two separate entities that they seem to be.
I challenge ALL the companies above to figure out how to provide ALL the services listed and charge them on ONE bill. Make me a deal I cannot refuse. AT&T is the only company in the list that has the all of the required infrastructure in place to do it. I think their management must be asleep at the helm to ignore the possibility that some people would like to have a single point of contact for their communications needs. The convenience of one bill, one account, and one customer service number would be a major selling point as far as I am concerned. Some people say that the multitude of bills makes it easier to pay somehow. It's still X dollars per month no matter when the bill comes or who you send the money to.
