| suffering irreparable harm Really?
I doubt it. Vonage has actually caused Verizon to benefit callers with its Freedom America plan (unlimited calling).
By making Verizon compete, the consumer again, has choice. Either VoIP or POTS.
Besides, what about all the DSL companies that dried up thanks to the "increased databasing" by Telcos and then taking their customers with their own DSL? Judge should see who is calling the kettle black...
BTW, I dropped Vonage after two years due to poor VQ (likely due to Comcast). But it caused more hassle then savings. I went back to Verizon for the bundle which cost $15 more yet know I pick up that phone, no static, choppiness or drops.

Brownsburg, IN | I used to work for one of those DSL providers back in 2000. Every time we had to deal with the telco (Ameritech back then) they would drag their feet at every junction. Trying to delay or straight up sabotage the install. Then, afterwards would solicit the customer with their own (slower and more expensive) DSL offering. Of course all the "technical issues" that caused slow downs or prevented them from provisioning the circuit before were magically fixed, and fixed right away.
Sorry to see Vonage go, I don't use them but their existence is significant to the landscape. |

kudos:3 | .. you forgot to mention.. during that long and un-necessary and unfair delay in provisioning the circuit for you, they were also busy soliciting your customer with an "even better offer" resulting in your loosing a customer.
.. and people call cable evil. The phone company always has been, always will be, and just plain is the anti-Christ SCUM suckers of the earth! They will NEVER change.

I had voice quality problems with vonage. Turned out to be a faulty moden what was dropping uploaded packets. Replacing the moden solved the problem. A few months later a sister of mine reported the same problem with vonage and replacing the modem completely cleared up her problem as well. |
