	What everyone keeps forgetting about this equation is that we are still tied to the phone companies for DSL. In transferring our number to VOIP and cutting the phone service, AT&T for example will start charge the same price of around $40 for the most basic DSL. When you add a VOIP package, well you haven't saved much. When the phone companies can give us DSL independent of the phone line for around $19, only then does it make sense. In the meantime, we wait for Wi-Max.
