New Fido home phone plan (Canada)

[RetiredAt63]

I think I posted this in the wrong forum, I got lots of views but no replies.

Anyway, sometimes the universe hands you opportunities on a platter - here is my phone saga:

Posted August 20:
As I tweak my retirement finances, opportunities seem to be popping up everywhere.  I just canceled my satellite TV (easier than expected, did not have to argue with the Expressvu rep) and now there is a notice from my Cell phone provider about home phone service, $10/month and I get to keep my old number.  Definitely a bargain.  Has anyone done this (especially in Ontario)?  How did it work out?

Update August 23:
78 views and no feedback - Canadian MMM readers, where are you? Or is this too new?
I will be the guinea pig. I just signed up, I can use my Fido dollars to buy the $30 home phone hardware (the rep suggested that, I thanked her) so that ended up free, I am going from $53.46 to $10.00 (all before taxes, my cell phone is with Fido so the service is lower cost than for new subscribers) for more service in terms of long distance, plus voice mail, for my home phone.  I keep my home phone number; it will be ported over from Bell.  I keep using the home phone I like the feel of.  I have already cut back my cell phone plan, so at this point my connection costs are way down.
Update on Xpressvu (TV), today I got the expected phone call asking if I would reconnect my TV for a better price.  I explained that price was not the point,  I am not using the service.  I suggested they call me in November when the nights are long and I might want it.  That was easy - but I did have to be firm (not rude, it is hard enough to do that job without having customers be rude).

New:
In summary, I have totally ditched my Bell service ($141.30/month), reduced my cell phone by $20 and added a home phone for $10 (plus tax), so this is way ahead.  And no pain, I have not lost any services I was actually using.  In fact, now that I have unlimited home long distance, I may be able to go to the absolute bottom cell phone plan ($25 from $35), I will give this a month to see use patterns. Why do I need to track use patterns?  BECAUSE I AM NOW RETIRED!!  ;-)

Stumbled on this old post when doing a search... thought it did deserve some kind of reply, however belated!

Just wanted to note that there are similar low-cost VOIP solutions available in Canada -- I signed on to voip.ms about 1.5 years ago.  I bought an ATA (converts phone to internet) for about $70, and pay by the minute (for any call, long distance or local). Even with many long conversations (teenage girl to boyfriend, long calls to parents etc) I've averaged about $7 per month, including $1 for the phone number, and $1.50 for e-911.

I feel sick that I paid for Rogers home phone at about $45-50 per month for years prior to that.  Anyone who has internet definitely shouldn't be paying more than about $10 per month for home phone, perhaps a bit more for those with a lot of overseas long distance.
