Bundling telephone, cable TV and Internet services can save you time and money. Simply, bundling means to combine your entertainment utilities with one provider and is sometime referred to as “triple play” or “quad-play” packages.
Once you’ve assessed your needs — call habits, TV preferences, Internet use — and done your homework by comparing deals offered by providers, here are five reasons to seal the deal.
Convenience. Just about every telecom company offers the package. So, you’re just one call away from developing a relationship with one company to provide all the services you need.
One service call and installation. The service technician is trained to make one visit to your home and voila, talk, surf and watch as much as you like — at the same time.
One monthly statement. You don’t have the hassle of dealing with more than one statement during the month or run the risk of forgetting to pay the bill.
Discount. A la carte services typically don’t make good financial sense if you utilize wireless or landline telephone service, Internet and cable or satellite service. It can save you hundreds of dollars per year by bundling the service with one provider.
Incentives. Companies throw in additional services like unlimited free long distance, more channels, faster downloads, higher bandwidth and video on demand service.
