Goodbye Vonage, Hello Comcast Trip Play

I'm all about change and technological enhancements this year.

After ditching Netflix for XM Radio just a few weeks ago, I have now dumped Vonage's phone service in favor of Comcast's.

This decision made because of the following...
  1. Comcast's "Triple Play" offer gives me, digital cable (including upgrades to HBO, Showtime & Starz), internet and phone service for only about $5 more per month than I pay now for regular cable (no HBO, Showtime & Starz), internet and phone.
  2. One bill for three "utilities"! Everything is auto-deducted anyway but one bill is just a smidge more convenient.
  3. My Vonage wireless router died. This in and of itself is not a big deal but when combined with this, it is...
  4. Vonage was sued by Verizon over patent infringement. There is a lot of legalese left to this issue but it is certainly a possibility that Vonage is forced out of business by the ruling. I certainly don't want to buy a new router if I'm forced to find a new provider in a few months.
Seemed like a no-brainer to me.
