Companies like Vonage and Sunrocket...

Companies like Voange and Sunrocket are getting killed by the cable companies' offering telephone service. Most of them offer unlimited service too. Not to mention that many people don't even HAVE home telephone service any more-they just use their cell phones at home.

The phone companies are even feeling the pinch, which is why they're all trying to offer TV and Internet.

It's a new paradigm, and the Sunrockets of the world just didn't make it through the probation period...

Why? I'd NEVER go for Comcast's phone- $33/mo for what I pay Vonage $17/mo for as we don't use the home phone all that much. In fact I'm thinking of going cell-only soon.

Unlimited is nice if you have kids or don't want a cell phone, but for those of us with cells with lots of minutes home phones are not as important.

VoIP is the standard that is used by the cable comapanies as well as vonage ect.
I used sunrocket for all the jacks in my home as well. No problems.
