If you haven’t heard of the term “Bundled Services” yet, you soon will. Bundled services is the term used when telephone, high-speed Internet, and digital television services are provided to consumers over a single broadband connection.

Traditionally the three have been kept separate; each with its own dedicated line. More recently faster Internet connections and the proliferation of digital media have brought them together. This enables users to surf the web, and receive email through a single line. It also allows you to watch regular or on-demand videos, play games, and chat with your friends all at the same time.

How does it work?
For local telephone companies, Bundled Services is delivered using a combination of fiber optics, and digital subscriber line (DSL) technologies to residential households. Cable companies use their existing cable lines as their delivery method for these services, along with a standard set-top-box.

The Benefits of Bundled Services
The convergence of these technologies also provides the convenience of receiving a single bill and discounts by getting all your communications services from one source. Not to mention tremendous cost savings associated with Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and digital voice. Many companies offer a flat monthly fee with the majority of the features already built-in. This monthly fee can include unlimited calls throughout the United States and Canada.
