Phone First

When I got my new cable service I also changed my phone service to "bundle" and save money. I was happy with the VoIP phone service I had, but it was scheduled to end soon so I thought I'd give cable a try.

I hate it.

The new service sounds awful. There is a buzz on the line that the installer said they can't fix unless I want to pay $35 per phone jack. I also hear a sound on the line at some point in every phone call that sounds like a phone ringing or an old phone dialing. There's no voicemail and I don't have an answering machine.

I can't see a reason to keep it, but I have two more weeks to get out of my contract.
