I have been wondering about my telephone internet bill lately. Specifically I'd like to know if it seems high to otehr people. I'd also like some advice on lowering it.

I pay $67.00 a month for a land line and broadband internet this includes a wire insurcance fee in case something goes wrong with the wiring in my house.

I also pay between 35 and 35 dollars for long distance charges. 25 of this is a package through smart communications that includes 1200 minutes a month which I sometimes exceed. Hence the 25 occasional bills.

I can't get cell phone reception where I live. Also I can't seem to figure out how ot get broadband internet without going through my local telephone company which requires a land line subcription. I'd love to get vonage but can't figure out how?

Any suggestions?
