Decided to see what all the hype is around VOIP. Though I've played with it a bit I never felt like it was ready for prime time. But on Monday I ordered Vonage and it arrived on Thursday. Hooked it up through the Linksys and it's working fine.
Made a few inbound and outbound calls and things seem fine. I certainly can't tell it's any different then a plain POTS line. Of course with OOL cable modem service I get 8500 down and 900 up so what's a little 90k for a VOIP call.
I'll probably keep it for 2 months and then decide if it's worth keep and dropping the unlimited Verizon long distance plan and using Vonage for outbound LD calls. I'm still not comfortable eliminating Verizon completely for home phone service. Being dependent on OOL, Vonage and the general Internet for calls seems a tad to risky to me.
Here goes the trial...
