The power of competition is amazing. I have been using Vonage
for a few
years, and can not tell the difference between Vonage and
BellSouth except
for the lower price and substantially more features offered by
Vonage.
Today, I got an offer in the mail from AT&T offering VOIP and
similar
features at the same price as Vonage. As long as Vonage
continues to
provides excellent service, I will not change, but it is nice to
see the
market place working.
I spent an afternoon of grief with Vonage yesterday trying to
resolve a
modem problem (no dial tone). It was eventually fixed on their
end (they
had to reconfigure a port) but only after dealing with 4 different
techs,
all of which were from India and hard to understand.
I haven't heard or seen a single reason to drop my hardwired phone
service for VOIP. Being an old-fashioned O.F., all I want from my home
phone is dial tone 99.9999999999999999999999999999% of the time and
if I
have a question, an English speaker providing the answers.- Hide

I am with you on this one. My partner has wanted to try VOIP, but I
have business peers who use it and it sucks. I consider any business
that uses VOIP over hardwire, cheap and unprofessional. I don't
wan,wan,wan,wan.wan.wan.wan.wan.t to,o,o,o,o,o,o,o, hear this ****
when I am talking to a business contact, and my clients never will
from me either
Sadly, it usually is easy to tell when the caller is using VOIP.
It is only a problem if they are limited on broadband upload and/or
download. On Comcast, there is not difference on either end.
Please provide that portion of your C.V. that demonstrates your
competence to make such a statement.
LOL, Harry you are way too sensitive today. Relax.
