better to bundle or ditch the landline?

Hi everyone,

Just thought I'd sign up on here to get advice for the best -- that is, cheapest -- way to handle the phone thing at home. I have to admit I'm kind of lost with all the options. There are all kinds of bundle packages you can do, with a company providing cable, internet, landline, etc., all in one. Or is it cheaper, generally, to just do one of these at a time under different providers, provided that you can cut out the landline and just use your cell?

I know the answers will likely vary from region to region (I'm in Brooklyn, if that helps). I'd be happy to ditch my landline and use my cell if that makes the whole thing cheaper. Or I could bundle everything together if that makes things cheaper. Just want to get a general sense of what people do when they're really trying to save. Any other tips ya got would be helpful, too.

    I'm not sure advice on here will be of much use to you Tanya - this is a UK-based site and, as such, contributors won't have detailed knowledge of the American cable/telephony market.
    Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.
