| Fees Hey, we cant complain too loudly about the tack on fees for telecommunications. We have to pay the companies extra so they can afford lobbyists and campaign donations so legislation goes in their favor, right? |

Winston Salem, NC | This is the reason i never subscribed seems everyone always lets a number Subscribed and then they hit you in the back Pocket.I wasn't impressed with the VOIP quality anyway and it doesn't seem right to tap into Cable and use Bandwidth that doesn't belong to them to make money.I will keep my Cellular Phone it fits my needs with free Nights and Weekends.Nothing in life is free. |

That doesn't even make sense. It's the USER'S bandwidth that he's paying the ISP for. What's wrong with the user deciding to use some of his bandwidth to subscribe to a VoIP service?
It's not run by the cable company? So what? This is why VoIP is able to compete with the telcos. Vonage doesn't have to build its own last-mile network because all it needs is an IP address. This is the way things work now. You pay for bandwidth and an IP and then you can run whatever services you like over it (as long as they don't violate your provider's ToS).
