All Broadband Providers (Comcast, Verizon, MetroCast, Cox, etc) all play the same marketing game. As they are primarily a television/internet providers it is a maneuver on their part to get your phone service away from the local land line provider (Verizon/Fairpoint/ etc). Typically if you "add Phone" your monthly bill will be 10-15% less than not having it. This varies widely across the country.
Some (I for one) subscribe to the bundle and simply do not attach a phone to the line ..... but it is there should I need it
