Triple play, mainly for the discounts and convenience of one bill. The only good one right now is FiOS. Having that strand of fiber, Verizon can cram almost unlimited data down it, just by changing what is on each end, and not even. The gear at each end is flash-upgradeable over a few generations.

However, right now, if you want the best performance for data, TV, and voice, you gotta split your money three ways. I'm enthused about T-Mobile's HotSpot service, since it essentially turns your (Wi-Fi capable) cell phone into a land phone when you are at home, and you don't hog minutes. For data, well, here in South Florida, there's really only Comcrap and AT&T. There's Covad and such, but they all travel along AT&T's lines. On a good line, Bellsouth DSL isn't bad.
