Fifteen years ago, I had Suddenlink they had just bought out Embarq, who had bought out Sprint who had been here since the beginning of time. And when I had Sprint/Embarq/Suddenlink for home phone, cable, and the internet there were no overages for internet usage. I had one flat bill every month and it never changed. Then when I left Suddenlink for DirecTV (only because I wanted TVONE), the rep told me I needed to bundle with Centurylink to get the savings, so I did (only getting the home phone and internet) and every month my bill changed, I do mean every month (going up higher and higher, and I wasn't even using my internet unless I had to pay a bill last minute). So when my contract was up (2/2015) I cancelled and now I only have DirecTV (billed separately) and my bill with them has never changed. I don't miss my home phone at all because I never had it plugged in to begin with and I use my cellular phone for internet, once I leave work there is no way I want to be on a computer (desk top). 4951
