Vonage coming to a Circuit City near you

[Fiveohhh]

if you want to set aside some bandwidth and only have one pc on your network, I use a program called netlimiter, and just throttle back the upload and dl, so theres room to spare for vonage. Only on e of out pc's is on most of the time so I installed netlimiter on there, I don't recall it being that expensive, but it comes in handy for other stuff too.

Cool, been a Vonage subscriber for quite some time now. It's nice to be getting all the services and paying less than half what I paid for Verizon's crappy service.

How's your service so far?

With Vonage themselves it's been pretty decent. I signed up somewhat early in their life and there were some initial problems like faxes not working properly and no names on the caller id. They've since fixed all that and the service has been good.

However something to keep in mind. The service is only as good as your internet connection. If your internet connection goes down so does your Vonage. Mind you, you have the option of forwarding your calls to another phone when this happens or just letting it go to voicemail.

Speaking of voicemail, one thing I love is I can retrieve voicemails over the web and I can even have the voicemails e-mailed to me as a .wav attachment.

I'm paying $27 and change a month including all taxes and fees, for unlimited local and 500 minutes of ld.

Have you tried faxing with your pc or do you have to have a dedicated fax machine with vonage?
