Vonage anyone?

[ShawnBoy]

I'm considering getting it, and they have a lot of good things to say about themselves, but I'd like a more impartial opinion.. heh. I don't actually need their full phone service (although I have to get it anyway) as I just require a phone number and voicemail box, but they seem to be the most affordable solution for that purpose.

Thanks in advance for any feedback.

unless you have a really fast connection, expect glitches. I had vonage
for approx. 3 months. In that time it was great when I was not using the internet to upload or download anything. If I was downloading some file
then I couldn't hear a damn thing as it kept cutting out..finally gave up and switched back to bell..maybe the technology is still too early.

I looked at Vonage and decided to get Costco residential service. As an executive member you get it for 27.95 incl. 1 feature and 60 minutes of North American long distance.

I have Rogers hi-speed and I am not sure how Vonage would work between 6 and 9 when all the kids are on and the system is slow.

Works fine.

I have used VOIP, from Primus on Rogers, Cogeco & Shaw... it works great, even when I am downloading music, etc

I would have probably tried it, but for some reason I would have to change my 905 number also.

It works fine, I'm happy with it.

have had Vonage at my TX home for 2 yrs via Time Warner cable and in my ON home since Oct 05 via Cogeco cable ( 2 lines, 1 in 905 and the other in 416 ) . Apart from VERY occasional voice quality issues - no complaints whatsoever .
Their features are way ahead of Bell and other VOIP providers , and the cost is unbeaten as of yet.

I would not say that. I have used Primus for 2-3 years.. has all the same features and is competitively priced

My choice is comwave for VOIP service - great options and cheap
