None of these providers tells you up front that the quality of your Internet connection is a huge determining factor in how well a call will sound.

At least with Vonage you pay month to month (I think) not fork over $250 all at once then find out the thing sucks. Wonder how easy it is to get a refund. :rofl:
These "techie" people today will fall for anything.

Both Ooma and Vonage have "five nines" reliability--or is pitched as being very close to that standard. Cha! Too bad all the nines are to the right of the decimal point.

Hal, I understand your resentment to VoiP. However, What was asked by LiquidVW is "has anyone used this yet". I, for one, am entertaining getting this. $250 is 10 months of phone bills. Not a bad gamble IMO

Liquid, have you tried the MJ yet? If you have a computer with broadband that's on 24/7, it's only $20/year and has voice mail, don't know if it has any other whistles, 'cause I don't care. I for one will hang onto my 'copper powered' pots line 'til it's pried from my cold, dead, hands. But, for $20/year, I'll put up with occasional screw-ups. The complaints I see on here, and hear from customers, it's as good or better than CLEC or Cable-phone, service. The ILECs aren't allowed to REALLY compete yet, are they? When they can drop their prices and kick employees to the curb, then things will REALLY go to hades! 
When I was young, I was Liberal. As I aged and wised up, I became Conservative. Now that I'm old, I have settled on Curmudgeon.

My buddy has 16MB cable at home and uses ooma. He got rid of his phone lines but forgot about his alarm system needing a phone line
