Gosh, Gene, your experience flies in the face of so many others. How

It certainly does. Everyone here who has it is very happy with it, and
never has problems with it, EXCEPT for Gene.


Gene is the one I trust.

I didn't say I didn't trust Gene. Are you assuming that because Gene
had a problem, that everyone else must have the same problems? With all
of the people that couldn't be happier with Vonage, I'd think Gene's
was an isolated instance.
JimH will be here in a second to help you by instigating another of his
bipolar rants!



As I said, I trust Gene. I also trust Gene to have enough technical
knowledge to present a technical problem accurately and in precise language.

And I never said he didn't. And I never said I didn't believe him. What
I am saying is that it's an isolated instance. No reason to poo-poo
Vonage over an isolated instance when there are many, many testimonials
from others stating otherwise.

I am aware of a number of problems that impact VOIP negatively, and I
have experienced enough "incoming" VOIP calls with voice quality
problems that I know it would not be satisfactory. Perhaps your
standards are lower for voice quality.

No, my standards are fine, Harry. My landline constantly had crackles
and line noise, as do most. Bellsouth's answer was that it was within
their limits.

And of course my alarm company sent out a letter describing problems
with VOIP.

Did they say that your alarms wouldn't work with VOIP?

Finally, the extra $25 or so a month I pay to Verizon for traditional
telco service has no financial impact on me.

Sure it has a financial impact on you. $25 dollars a month or so!
