Why would using a broadband phone be cheaper? Especially since you still need to pay the land line phone company for the dial tone to use your DSL Broadband connection?
Don't you essentially wind up with 2 phone bills, your land phone bill and you broadband phone bill?
Is the savings more for people who use a lot of long distance?

It depends on how you get DSL service, whom you have it through, and which broadband phone service you want to use.
DSL is not a phone line. Just keep that in mind. Its provided by your phone company, but that's the extent of it.
Just think of it this way,
you have a land line ($40 mo)
You have internet service (cable/dsl) - $50/mo
You have your dsl line - ($30 /mo)
So now, you look at broadband phone and it purporst to be $30/mo
You can now nix your landline from your phone company since you'll be saving $10 / mo with the broadband service.
or you can nix both your dsl and land line, GET cable internet (better) and then the broadband phone line.
Even more money saved.
