Having Cable television and cable internet I decided to try Vonage. I've had the service now for three months and I love it. I used to pay around $75.00 a month for land line phone service. That is down to $25.00 a month for Vonage. I figure I'm getting my cable internet for FREE now!!! And FREE is my favorite four letter word. Yes, you do have a disadvantage in a power outage, but a cell phone works. Who wants to talk on the phone during a power outage anyway? Their are much better things to do when the lights are out!!!!!!!!!
