Here's a site that allows some comparison of different plans and provides

I had SunRocket, which went under. My neighbor transferred to VOIP.com and
is very happy with it. I can't tell he is using VOIP when he calls.

I'm happy with Cox digital, at about half the cost of Verizon, but may go
back to VOIP in a couple months. Will wait to see what my neighbor thinks
in a month or two.


The broadband carriers, particularly cable will have to show me a lot
more reliability before I cut my "always works" phone line.
After any decent storm, named or not, my cable is always out a few
days and "data" was out for over a week. In 25 years I have never lost
my phone.

I've had very good luck with Cox here in Alexandria, VA. After the first
year's growing pains, the service has been very free of outages of any
kind. In the 12 years we've been in this house, we've never lost
electricity for more than a few hours either. So, we've been quite lucky.
