OK, I just got my phone/internet bill and I'm going through the roof here.

We have 2 voice lines (I often work from home, need the spare voice line), and on one of those lines I have 1.5MB/512K DSL service (slow!).

I have "Flat Rate" calling - no minute charges for any calls.

My bill this month was $162.00. I think that's absurd.

But I have no comparative data.

Before anyone tells me to get Vonage or some such - don't. I can't get 2-way cable Internet, VoIP on 1.5MB DSL is useless. I looked into "dry loop" DSL - it's $89.00 a month - which is MORE than the $49 they charge for DSL when it comes with a dialtone.

I also have - through work - the Verizon BroadbandConnect service (which is FANTASTIC) - but since I don't pay for it, I avoid seeing the whole with tax bill. I think it's like $100 a month all in.

So...what do you pay all in for phone + internet?
