"Low cost, easy install"
"Local number porting takes time, call quality dropped dramatically"
"Bailed and went with OV"
Web-site: Ease of Installation: Call Quality: Reliability: Tech Support: Value for money: (ratings below consensus)
Update (07/2007) Call quality went to hell. Dropped Vonage and went with Optimum Voice
Update (7/25/2006): Service is still working fine for us.
Disclaimer: My wife was a Vonage employee
Update (3/9/2005): Our number got ported on 3/4. A little under two calendar months but so far everything is working fine. I called to check the status of our number transfer in late February and got one month credit since the number didn't port in 20 business days or less.
Initial review: Got the service in mid-January and set it up as soon as the router arrived. So far it's been working as advertised. I'm just waiting for my local number to be moved to Vonage.
A little bonus was that the Linksys RT31P2 replaced my old SMC Barricade 7004BR - this gave me a boost in Internet speed since my Motorola SB4200 seems to have a small issue with routers that have 10mb WAN ports as opposed to 10/100mb WAN ports.
