I've had Lingo since May '05. I signed up for the Unlimited w/ Europe plan for 19.95 a month ($22.09 every month after fees). Call quality with my Time warner cable connection (10/512) has been perfect. Lingo had a one-time outage that lasted about 4 hours last year- but that has been the ONLY problem in over two years (no missed calls, no echo, nothing).
About a year ago, Lingo raised the price of my plan to $21.95/mo. Shortly after that they started collecting "taxes and fees". Despite a Lingo rep telling me that they wouldn't, these taxes change EVERY month (the taxes are now over $3/mo).
My only experience with tech support was when I called during the outage, and there was a long wait (about 20+ minutes). Thankfully I haven't needed them for anything else, but I gave them a low rating based on that experience.
Overall, Lingo is a high quality VoIP provider. If reliability of your phone is your top priority (rather than price and features), then Lingo is for you.

Lingo is still rock solid. Easily the best third party VoIP I've ever used.
