$8 a month gets me an internet fax service - which I have used far more often that I thought I was going to (doctor's and lawyer's offices being the primary traffic for me).
Have cable for internet & television - and got the television base package only because getting that bundle was cheaper than getting internet alone
Use Vonage for VoIP, costs $25 per month. Unlimited calls to all of North America, much of Europe, and parts of Asia. I'm on the phone 4-8 hours most weekdays, and in 6 months have had exactly two times where calls were a problem (both solved by rebooting the cable modem and the Vonage box).
