That was badly phrased - I should have said comparably priced. The two people I know with comcast digital are very happy.

Cool, thanks everyone. Jess, I knew you'd had Vonage, but I couldn't remember your experience with it. I think I'll check other services out. I don't get Comcast. I wonder if Adelphia offers service.

I've had Vonage since I moved in here. I have a very fast cable modem connection and I've had good call quality on it.

Hmm, crap. We get Earthlink DSL, and Earthlink also offers VoIP, but apparently if you have DSL, you need to keep your old phone active and get a new number, neither of which are acceptable alternatives to what we're doing now.

Yeah, if you are on DSL then you have to have a phone line anyway. Are you planning to switch to cable modem before you do the VoIP thing?

Well, we hadn't been planning on switching, but I guess now we have to consider it.

Yeah, you can't have DSL without a phone line, so there's no real point in doing VoIP over it.

You know, local phone companies have started responding to the VOIP threat. You might be able to get a cheaper plan from them if you just ask.

All is well that ends in pizza.
