All about Telecommunications

Lets talk about bundled services

If you do not have a bundled service for your local and long distance telephone service you may be paying to much each month on your bill. You can have ONE BILL instead of two, for a fraction of the cost you are paying now.
There are lots of options out there but you need to know where to look for the best deals in your area.
I read an article at Consumeraffairs.com the other day dated july 21 2005. I would like to share some of what they said with you.
In this article they said that "Seventy-five percent of U.S. households now receive their local and long distance telephone service from one provider -� up from 51 percent a year ago�according to the J.D. Power and Associates 2005 Residential All-Distance Telephone Customer Satisfaction Study.
"For the first time, J.D. Power and Associates is measuring customer satisfaction with both local and long distance telephone service in one study, reflecting the growing percentage of U.S. households bundling both services with a single provider."

"With the wide array of telecommunications options and increased competition for residential customers among traditional telephone companies, competitive local exchange carriers and cable companies, consumers have a great opportunity to save money and still receive high levels of customer service."

"The number of households reporting that they changed local or long distance service providers in the past year plummets -- Only 7 percent of respondents indicate a likelihood of switching carriers in the future -- down from 17 percent for local service in 2004."

"This drop in switching is evidence that large numbers of subscribers have already combined their local and long distance service and expect to stay with their provider for the time being," "However, there is still strong interest among consumers in promotions that couple wireless service plans, which typically have a fixed number of minutes, with traditional telephone service, providing optimal savings."

So where do you go to find a good bundled service? I have a few for you to check out.
