We use Sprint which has phone service bundled with DSL for $80 a month including taxes. I think it was probably promoted as $59.95/month, but by the time you add in all the extra fees, it ends of being $80/month. But here's the trick. First you sign up with them, and typically you get a 785kbs speed. Then a couple months later you say, oh i got an offer in the mail from your competitor, there promising my X, but if you'll give me your high speed dsl for the same rate i'm paying now i'll stay with you. My friends and i have all done this and we're getting 2 or 3 mbs at the cheap rate (normally they want an extra $20/month for each bump up in speed).
So I would take a close look at how much you're paying per month for phone service. You may well do better to bundle your internet with your phone rather than your internet with your cable.
