Packet 8 or Vonage

[episodic]

Which, if you had this for your SOLE phone service would you pick? I prefer actual users to vote

Go with SunROCKET. Had it for about 3-4 months now. Very pleased.

Have had Vonage for 5 months, no problems yet....

Oh... sorry to hear that. Hmm, can't really give ya an opinion seeing that I don't know anything about those other 2 services. Good luck though.

you mean you can't get an area code in your area?

Vonage, the price is cheaper at $14. I never had any problems except for receiving faxes sometimes. Was able to clear that up by upping the about of bandwidth allowed for voice communications on vonage's end.

I randomly picked since I haven't heard either of those names.

Edit: Sh!t, I forgot what I picked. I hope it isn't a 50/50 split.

Vonage TOS states a: fee of $39.99 if you terminate before 1 year. Also, terminating service is a hassle (i.e. AOL)

IIRC, that fee is only if you don't send back your VOIP box/router after cancelling...it's not a fee really...

My gizmo IS my router. Router/VOIP device is made by Linksys model RTP31P2. Unit has 4 CAT 5 connections and 2 phone line connections. I have 1 line running to my cordless handset and the other to my 16 port switch. Pretty easy to setup as well.
