The power outage problem is when I get out the cell phone, which hardly ever gets used anyway. I *am* lucky that I live in an area which has had very few power outages. In the past eleven years we've had only one outage that lasted longer than 15 minutes, and that was for only about four hours.

Every few days I'll get an echo for about 2 seconds, other than that, my Vonage has less noise than my Bellsouth phone line had. My cable internet is very reliable, again about as reliable as Bellsouth. I hated Bellsouth, and when the technology became available to **** can them, I did just that! The voice quality is better than that over Verizon. I've got hearing problems and always have the phone volume as loud as it will go. With VOIP, I have to turn the volume down. -- 'Til next time, John H ****************************************** ***** Have a Spectacular Day! ***** ****************************************** |

Vonage offers the service in your area, and you can keep your current
phone number. I have used Vonage for 3 months, and have been very pleased with the service. If anyone wants to try the service, they offer 1 month free. Also, I get two months free for recommending a friend, so if you are interested let me know and I will "recommend" you. |

Did you check Vonage? They have a link you can check to make sure you
can transfer your phone. You are able to do this in most major markets. http://www.vonage.com/features.php?feature=lnp |

I found Bellsouth's service, to be typical of all monopolies. I jumped
at the chance to change providers. vonage is first class. If you are downloading large files, it is best to discontinue the download while on the phone or limit the bandwidth available for downloads on the computer. |
