Gene,
Comcast gave up handling UseNet and contracted their UseNet access out
to giganews. Their service is FANTASTIC and you get 2 GB of downloads
per month for free. If you need more you can pay for the service from
giganews.

As you can tell, I am very very pleased with Comcast as a ISP and Cable
provider.

Giganews is a great provider. I don't know about the OP, but Comcast
does not serve my area.

I hope your Vonage is working out OK. I finally had to dump them for
poor service... actually NO service. Trying to get unhooked from that
bunch of idiots was a real experience.

After a few jitters with SunRocket, I've cancelled my normal telephone
service (Verizon). Now I'm paying SunRocket $199 per *year* and get more
than what I got with Verizon. I recently plugged the SunRocket adapter into
a wall telephone jack and it powers all the jacks in the house. Of course,
I unplugged the Verizon line outside the house.

I use Cox Cable for my ISP, and I upgraded the speed so I'm getting about
18 Mbps download and about 1.7Mbps upload.

For a little over $16 per month I can put up with an occasional echo. When
I have a problem with outage, which has happened only once recently,
repowering the modem and the adapter has solved the problem.
