    <title>Is Bundled Service Right For Me?</title>
    <description>&lt;div class=&quot;text blurb&quot;&gt;Dear Consumer Advisor,

What is bundled service, and why is AT&amp;T constantly sending me glossy advertisements for it? ? Do I have to buy a package of services from them, and will it be cheaper if I do?

Signed,
Happily Unbundled&lt;/div&gt;

    <title>How to Reach an Actual Human at Your Utility Company</title>
    <description>&lt;div class=&quot;text blurb&quot;&gt;Dear Consumer Advisor,
I get so frustrated every time I have to call my utility company! The phone menu rarely offers what I want and never seems to lead to a real live human being. Is there any way to avoid the endless phone menu and connect with someone who can actually help me? 



Sincerely,
Wanna Person&lt;/div&gt;
