Re: Evolution of the VoIP market?
said by fiberguy  :How much does that savings add up if you weren't able to get someone to your home in an emergency.. and you loose them? How much was that savings worth to you then? Let me add to that. I have a Broadvoice $5.95 per month account that I use as in my house. Although that price may be low, I pay for all calls above the 200 or so free minutes they give me per month. All in all the bill comes out to around $15 or $20 per month which isnt bad. HOWEVER, I would never, ever, ever have my primary/only phone be any VoIP provider, period. As you mention, dialing 911 (and having them answer, know who you are, and actually show up) is more important to me then saving a few bucks every month. Even if you have had no issues with a VoIP provider doesnt mean that 911 will work properly, nor does it mean your service will work all the time. For this very reason I also have a POTS line in my house just for emergencies like 911 or power outages. How much do I pay for my basic POTS line with no features you ask? $45 per month, and its worth every penny. VoIP is just a fun toy for me, not a real service. I would caution anyone who is thinking otherwise to think again.
