VOIP service
I don't see the savings in internet phone calls. Here in OKC, one has to pay for local phone service, then for DSL service ~ $50+/ mo. The only savings might come in the form of Long Distance Service (~$20-$25/mo depending on whom is used for wervice and what options) not being required, then you have to pay Vonage $25/mo or someone else for using their service? Where is the savings for what has been shown to be poor quality transmission? For Cable Internet the cost is similar, if not more. Phone service is available over the cable for a fee as well. For what Vonage is offering I can get with SBC DSL, and my AT&T Long distance, no special equipment required, with good clear calls, and it will work even during power outages, etc.. To sum it up there IS NO SAVINGS!
