Explain why bundling services is better than single services
Bundling services is often better than subscribing to individual services because it usually provides cost savings, convenience, and enhanced value. By combining services like TV, internet, and phone into a single package, you often receive a discounted rate compared to purchasing each service separately. This can lead to substantial financial savings. Additionally, bundling simplifies management by consolidating multiple bills into one, making it easier to track and pay. Providers may also offer additional benefits, such as improved customer support or exclusive features, further enhancing the overall value of the bundle.
