Just for kicks... I ran the Test Your VoIP test.

I don't have VoIP!

As a matter of fact, I have Digital Phone service, but this test cannot connect to it.

Ask Cheese69 how good my CPD is.

Using the simulation from me to San Jose and getting a "3.8" on their test is still bogus!
My connection, over all protocols, is - shall we say, Great!

I call bullshit on this test site!

I do have that many Vonage lines on one connection

I call bullshit as well, I ran a test. I use my Vonage line all day for business calls. I never have quality issues, never, in the last 2 years of using it. The only time I hear it cut it is when I talk to someone on a CellPhone, because they are having connection problems. All my calls to landline users are always perfect quality. I'm picky about my tech stuff and if my calls were as bad as this site claims, I wouldn't use VoIP to begin with. I've attached a screenshot of my test results (on the same Internet Pipe that my 5, yes, 5 Vonage lines are connected to), plus a screenshot of my account, yes I really do have that many going on (1) DSL connection. With all (5) going at once, there is no quality issue, none at all.

If someone is having a call quality issue, it's either their ISP or their on Internal network that needs good traffic shaping. Not to say problems won't exist with the VoIP providers too, but all the fuse about crappy calls I can trace to other factors than the VoIP provider.

Well, comcast digital phone is much more like a landline. Cox seems to have the same type. Its more expensive for the customer because its regulated and theres more fee's for the customer to pay. I believe its powered from the outside so power outages is not a problem. At least for a short while. Comcast digital voice is VoIP and is free from any telephone regulations.

Cox cable also has phone service similiar comcast digital phone. Time warner and cablevision only have VoIP and is unregulated.

Question to Comcast PHONE and Cox people..

I dont understand how Comcast digital phone and cox works. Is it a battery backup at the premise? From outside the house? Can you order this type phone service without an internet connection in the home? Where does your dialtone originate from? The outside or your router.

I would GUESS that with "Digital Phone" its coming in from the outside... NOT coming out of your cable modem. Digital VOICE comes through the modem/router, therefor considered VoIP and unregulated.

Yes? No? maybe?
