Using Road Runner All In One Package. No problems so far. Very pleased with it. Thought of Vontage, but decided to go with RR

I've been a Vonage subscriber for a little over a year. Started on the $15/mo. plan and upgraded later. I have it connected to my Comcast cable modem which has had near 100% uptime. The only problem is the line will cut out if I upload files to the Internet. The fix is to enable reserved bandwidth on my router (Linksys WRT54G), but not all routers have that option. Because I've reserved some bandwidth for my Vonage, my Internet connection runs a LITTLE slower.
I'm paying the same amount for phone + Internet now as I was when I was a Verizon subscriber. But in return I'm getting free long-distance, a portable phone number (the number goes whereever the box goes), and I have all my voice mails emailed to me.
Overall "A" in my book.If you have to operate your company behind the scenes or under a fake name, maybe it's time to leave the industry and start something fresh.

I use Via:Talk. Gotta say best VoIP service i've used. I didn't like Vonage because they didnt have any local numbers plus Via:Talk was a bit less expensive.

I have use Lingo and Vonage. I believe vonage gives better quality, I have it connected with my Road Runner cable. I just didn't want to get the Digital Phone by road runner because I believe is basically the same but $10 bucks more.

I have been using Lingo for about a year. Quality is so-so, but lately I have been experiences sporadic outages. It's very frustrating because you never know when its working or not :-) I will be switching to Vonage soon. I'm really excited about the virtual phone software they have!
