As far as the company, I still don’t think they’re anything special, but they lowered my price by $20 last month, so I can’t complain.

But there are still a few issues with these bundles in practice. For one thing, they generally aren’t as cheap as they first appear. And once you’re in, you’re stuck for the term of a contract (often pretty long term). And then there’s the special CPE required to support the triple-play (see Blocking without blocking) where they can manage what the connection is used for and do local prioritization right at the router. What people are really buying here is not Internet (not an IP service) but Web and Email (more like "Internet" on cell phones). The ability to send/receive any IP packet is not necessarily part of the service, meaning VPN, VoIP, and whatever new thing gets thought up next week, might not work (probably won’t work) with this kind of "Internet" – and customers will be stuck with it for X years to come.
