The actual phone service is not bad. It all depends on the quality

your internet service. When speeds drop in my area (Time Warner
sucks)
then the voice quality degrades to unacceptable.
Vonage needs to improve tech support and stop routing these calls
through
India.
You are correct. I am also concerned that the infringement lawsuit
might
be the death of them, so I am glad others are getting into the VOIP
market
at competitive prices.
Indeed.
I could care less if Vonage goes under as there are plenty of other
options
available.
In the end I could do without any sort of home based phone service and
it
may eventually get to the point with us relying only our cell phones.
Bad move. Keep the land-line for emergencies. It only costs about $10 a
month.
Maybe we are just stuck in our old habits................after all, how
does
the younger generation living on their own survive with *only* a cell
phone?- Hide quoted text -

What emergency would a land line handle that a cell phone won't?
When AC power is down. Landline phones run off large battery banks. One of
the reasons that you should have at least one, old fashioned non wireless
phone in the house. If the power goes out, ou can not call for help of
service.
Bingo.
