Triple Play
Interesting news from Charter Communications in the last week or so. By all accounts they now have 500,000 VoIP customers - 300,000 of them in 2006 alone.
The other interesting side to this is that 7 out of 10 of their VoIP customers signed up for the Triple Play package. I am sure with all the advertising these days you are aware of Triple Play. If you’re just back from solitary confinement the Triple Play is Video (TV), Broadband Data (Internet) and Voice (VoIP or Broadband Phone or Internet Phone or Digital Voice….yes the marketing guys are having a field day with this aren’t they).
I can see the benefit of the Triple Play, all services from one company and therefore only one bill. The other advantage is of course when things go wrong. No doubt who is responsible if things go wrong. This is a problem some users have right now when they have different service providers for Voice and Data - if the phone service does not work, is it the VoIP service provider or the Broadband Data service provider that is at fault.
However before you jump up and order Triple Play you may want to take a look at some of the deals the “Single Play” VoIP service providers offer. You might just find you will save a good chunk of change. For example some service providers offer 2 years of unlimited service for $199. Now that is tough to beat Charter!
Take a look at some of the VoIP solutions we currently have on our main site:
