I've been using vbuzzer for a few months now. Joined the Toronto plan unlimited in/out for $25/year. The voice quality is excellent! I am using Linksys WRT54G with Tomato and SPA3102 with Vonage as PSTN line. I call China regularly and the other end said the quality is as good as a call from next door.
Very happy with the service so far.

I have no contract except for duration of whatever services I choose to order by-the-month or by-the-year.
I have used Vbuzzer.com for multiple years now. I have watched the web site continuously evolve for the better, and the service offerings evolve to meet demand. It has been a ride of constant improvement of the 'background' things while all the time proving that they are one of my most reliable providers and have exceptional quality of call.
Vbuzzer has a very good and easily installed soft-phone application with many enhanced features. Their service also works reliably on all of the ATAs I have tested, as well as being a mainstay in my asterisk systems; for both inbound and outbound traffic.
Tech support is primarily via email. It can be slow [>24 hours] for a response, but I've noticed that any service issue is immediately addressed and then answered time permitting.
BOTTOM LINE. I know that I can use Vbuzzer to have high quality conversations with whomever I call. Inbound works flawlessly. A very stable VoIP company.
20080617 -They are constantly evolving, adding interesting and unique features although often mainly supporting their Canadian local client base. For the rest of us, Vbuzzer's services just keep working as advertised!

I heard about Vbuzzer and thought I would give it a try - I don't know of any other companies offering a 416 number with unlimited local calling for $25/year. They take payments/deposits through Paypal (minimum $30 deposit for this service so there's $5 leftover for long distance calling or you can transfer it to another user). I didn't like the extra $5 deposit so much but their taking Paypal is great. As much as I dislike Paypal, there's no need to worry about an unscrupulous company charging bogus fees. I bought a Linksys PAP2-NA VOIP adapter from eBay for $40 and I was set.
The quality is great, comparable to my Bell home phone service. No problems with direct-dialed long distance calls. Billing is very accurate and detailed. Reliability was solid for the first month, after which there was a period of 3 days where I couldn't connect to VBuzzer's server. Support is only by email or their online form. Replies were spotty, ranging from one reply within several hours, one after two days, and no replies to two emails.
Overall, I'm happy with the service. If you can deal with the less than 100% up-time (combine potential issues on VBuzzer's side with your ISP's up-time issues and you almost certainly would be having problems once in a while), then $25/year is a great deal.

In truth, I don't talk much on the phone. If I do, it's usually on my cell phone or through Skype for the long distance connections. Still, I was paying for a landline because I felt strange not having one. That little pleasure, however, cost me $30 a month. Currently, vbuzzer has a promotion, and I got my unlimited DID and unlimited Toronto for $25 a year. Normally, the price would be $50 -- still very reasonable. In the first month of usage, I've noticed no glaring problems. Setup was very simple. I have tested the 416 outbound and inbound. It works fine. I have, however, made a few 519 calls and the quality of those was decidedly mixed; I don't ever actually call the 519 (that's what Skype is for), but if you do, take that as a warning. Still, for the price, vbuzzer cannot be beat.

I've been using Vbuzzer for over a year and I'm very happy with the quality of calls. I use Vbuzzer with a Linksys PAP2-NA analogue telephone adapter (ATA) and I haven't had any major problems. Every once in a while there will be a minor problem, such as voice mail not working or calls going straight to voice mail, but Vbuzzer usually fixes these problems fairly quickly.
Their prices are competitive (1.7 cents/minute to several countries) and their forums are very helpful. They don't offer 911 service so I wouldn't recommend that you switch your landline but if you want a second line this service has been great so far.
Highly recommended.
