So today was interesting as they listed its new phone prices if you have Internet services with them as well.  You can see they had a phone plan that was about $65 a month usually where having Internet access would reduce that to $55 a month.  The highest plan was normally $105 and would be reduced to $75 a month.<\/p>\n<p>That doesn\u2019t sound like a very good deal considering again you have to have the Internet service to get that discount.
