Depending on your cable company, you might have VoIP available thru them. I've got VoIP through Charter. Right now, the rate's pretty low--will go up though after a year. For the most part, it's good. Occasionally there are some strange little outages, but they never last all that long. And, one thing a friend and I found: sometimes VoIP to VoIP is a little screwy--doesn't make the connection or there's a delay. T.

Hi hidden-tech folks, I'm considering ditching my Verizon local phone service for something IP-based...has anyone had a particular good experience with any of the Vonage et al companies out there? Thanks in advanced for any replies...
