Christine, I'll chime in too. I switched to comcast a month or so ago. smooth transition. i like the online services- in preferences, you can have an email sent when someone leaves a message and then listen to the message- you actually have the option to download it if you'd like-kinda' cool). I'm still thinking of dumping the landline altogether - just seems unnecessary and an extra expense at this point...it's starting to "seem so 2007" :| go for it.
