I don't like it. Mine drops the connection too much. Besides that, when I lose service to the phone, which has happened far too often, I also lose the net and TV. I'm looking at alternatives. --Vic Phone over internet is not reliable. Don't stop there give us a dissertation on the evils of VoIP and why it isn't reliable. My problem is the Comcast internet here isn't reliable. I might get the Skype service where you keep your phone number and you can hook a Skype phone to the modem - don't have to have a computer turned on. Unfortunately the phone looked pretty expensive when I last checked. But I would want an AT&T DSL line instead of Comcast, hoping it would be more reliable. Don't know. It would be a lot cheaper. Going to DSL and Skype would eliminate my Comcast digital phone and internet which total about $100 a month. The new cost for Phone/DSL would be about $20 a month. Not sure how well Skype would work with DSL, or how much my daughter would bitch about DSL instead of broadband when doing her schoolwork. So I probably won't do a damn thing. But hey, I did give it some thought. --Vic I had telco DSL service some years ago. It was fairly reliable, but when it went down, it went down for long periods of time. |
