The problem we have with seperating DSL from POTS is that we get a very decent bundle discount, so the POTS service really only costs us about $12 per month extra. That and we will never accidentally leave our POTS phone somewhere, have it stolen, or likely run it through the wash - an extra cost for either replacement or handset insurance.

I guarantee that a person can get much more bang for their buck with home internet over DSL than wireless when all of the other factors are thrown in. I pay $30/month for 3G service that rarely if ever delivers over 1Mbps, usually much less, whereas my 7Mbps DSL for $29/month, is always on, always at maximum speed - and not subject to being misplaced. Nevermind the cell sites that won't allow me a simultaneous voice and data connection!
