How many subs THIS PAST YEAR?

In Vonage's first year, there was no one else doing VoIP. The fact is that almost nobody had heard of it.

FF to 2004. Lots more people know about it. Who do they go with?

Using your logic, we should measure sales of Motorola cell phones in 1992 and compare it to the sales of Nokia cell phones in 2005 and use that logic to determine who is superior!

I get more features, long distance for less then I was paying for Qwest POTS with 3 features and no long distance. Who can complain about that. The call quality is great as well.

Were talking about $30 a month so even if I went with Vonage I'm only saving $5 a month. I pay a lot more than that for my cell phone (Cingular) and I get calls cut off, bad signal quality. So $30 a month for very clear calls at home is a deal. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,12943909 Fri, 18 Mar 2005 17:07:34 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,12941933 anon : Att can't win on an overpriced undermarketed service. If they plan on keeping the momentum they're gonna have to get into the real deal of not limiting minutes in the fine print and/or cutting the price, it's called competition. If you don't compete (like china does with dumping goods in the US, it's game-set-match for this former ma-bell tenticle)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,12941933 Fri, 18 Mar 2005 13:08:55 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,12941752 nightwalker : Let's compare ATT and Vonage.

»www.vonage.com/corporate/press_index.php
05.01.2001 Vonage Launch
06.16.2003 Vonage has 30,000 Lines
09.23.2003 Vonage has 50,000 Lines
50,000 / 28 months = 1786 lines per month

CallVantage:
03.30.2004: CallVantage Launch
12.30.2004: CallVantage has 53,000 Lines
53,000 / 9 months = 5888 lines per month

It took only 8.5 months for ATT to hit 50K subscribers.

Vonage took over 27 months to hit the 50K mark.

In the DFW area I used to see their commercials all the time as well. I think its more of the fact of their customers being able to justifty the price for what features they offer.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,12941291 Fri, 18 Mar 2005 11:47:02 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,12940278 oliphant : ...charging too much...along with not enough promotion. I mean other than DSLR where will you see CallVantage talked about? I see Vonage commercials all the time. If they aren't going to advertise, that means they're only going to come across customers who are doing research into VoIP plans and if that's the case they're going to find their competitors like Broadvoice and Voicepulse to be as much as 30% cheaper with major competitors like Voicepulse and Vonage 15-20% cheaper. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,12940278 Fri, 18 Mar 2005 09:09:02 EDT
