[Hidden-tech] best phone service?

[Will Loving]

Comcast Digital Voice is not similar to Vonage. Vonage and other VOIP
services encode the voice to IP packets and send them out directly through
your router over the internet. That¹s why such services are more subject to
dropouts if you are doing a lot of network and internet activity. Comcast
Digital Voice sends the voice signal up the Coaxial cable to the central
office before converting to IP packets. The result ­ in my experience of the
last year ­ is superb sound  quality and no drop out. The sound is clearer
and stronger than my original Verizon POTS connection. I used to set my
headset volume at 4 to 5, now I keep it between 1-1/2 and 2-1/2.

There are occasional annoying problems, but I¹m completely sold on the
Comcast service. We¹ve converted both our business and house lines to it and
have no standard phone lines at all. I pay $50 a month for two lines with
unlimited US calling and all the bells and whistles, plus better sound than
a standard phone line.
