[Hidden-tech] Traditional phone service, cable, VOIP

[David Spound]

Dear fellow Hidden Tech-ers,

I am about to move and am therefore ³starting over² with my home
telecommunications services. I am trying to determine what phone service(s)
I will have and would welcome your input.

I will have Comcast Internet serviceat my new home as Verizon DSL does not
reach to where I will be living in Leeds (Northampton).

I decided that I don¹t want to rely solely on my cell phone for phone
service. I could get Verizon home phone service again, or I could get phone
service through Comcast or perhaps Vonage. In past Hidden-Tech discussion
about phone service, I seem to recall mixed reviews from users of cable and
VOIP services such as Vonage. Have those services improved?

Also, my cell phone contract with Verizon is now up for renewal. I have
considered a switch to AT&T so I could get an iPhone (which would be
advantageous for professional reasons), but am concerned that AT&T¹s
coverage in the valley not very strong around here. I need good coverage
throughout the Valley and along the Mass Pike into Worcester and Boston.

Any thoughts about current personal telecom services will be appreciated.

Regards,

David
