Bright House VOIP is at the modem, built-in, and the "Combo Plus"
package was $99 a month, for a year, for my HD, Cable, and a phone.

That is less than the basic pacakage and broadband was regularly.

BUT, ya gotta find the vendor at Walmart to sign up, though the website
shows some kind of 'deal' on the same package...!

Thsi new home with no telephone wiring confused the tech, a new kid, and
wasted a few hours of my time.  Now three techs know how a professional
telephone backboard with a 66 block can integrate phones, ethernet to
homerun all services.
