AOL Canada Drops VOIP Prices
April 28th, 2005 Posted in Main Page
AOL Canada - citing “increasing subscriber demand” - recently dropped the prices of its two VOIP plans. Truth be told, AOL is really responding to market conditions so it can stay competitive with Vonage, Primus, Comwave and BabyTel in the non-facilities based VOIP market. While AOL Canada executives have enthusiastically disagreed with me on their pricing strategy out of the gate, their Optimum and Optimum Plus packages were too expensive copmpared with many rivals. With a $5 reduction to $29.95 and $39.95 respectively, Optimum and Optimum Plus are have become more reasonable but if I was looking for bang for the buck and a strong brand name, I'd still go for Primus or Vonage.
