With Vonage, if you cancel in the first year, you have to pay $40. Vonage says no contract, but there really is in the first year. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18845708 Fri, 10 Aug 2007 07:58:45 EDT Re: comcrap is still too expensive http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18845666 SparkChaser :

when i can get a POTS line, including LD, for under 10 bux a month, why on earth would I want to pay $33 - 60 a month for a shady, not always working VoIP solution..

Now I may order one when, and if, the prices come WAY down.. like to 15 bux a month or so, otherwise, I'll stick to my tried and true POTS line for now.
Why would you want $15/month VOIP when your POTS is less than $10/month with LD? It doesn't make sense. I have a hard time believing your price for POTS unless local calls are metered and the LD plan is something outrageous like $1/minute.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18844702 Fri, 10 Aug 2007 00:24:23 EDT Re: comcrap is still too expensive http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18842346 MySpareBrain :

I'm not sure but after 3 different techs coming out on 3 different days, and no one could figure it out, I gave up.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18842346 Thu, 09 Aug 2007 17:34:16 EDT Re: comcrap is still too expensive http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18842129 Geminimind : I quess it depends on the area and the network or you just had a bad install. people tell me i sound clearer than the pots phone]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18842129 Thu, 09 Aug 2007 17:04:10 EDT Re: comcrap is still too expensive http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18841539 MySpareBrain : Even though Comcast may have a dedicated VOIP Line, my short lived experience with them early last year was atrocious. I switched from Vonage to Comcast. Went straight back to Vonage 3 weeks later and have never looked back.

At least with Vonage I didn't get complaints from people telling me I sound like a robot, or like a bad cell phone call when it is about to go out of range or just plain static.

I would rather stay with Vonage and pay less, and not be locked into a contract.

I have had a few very minor issues here and there but Vonage fixed every one of them almost instantly. I can also upload and talk at the same time without losing audio quality.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18841539 Thu, 09 Aug 2007 15:39:36 EDT Re: comcrap is still too expensive http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18840727 caddyroger :

I make at least 90 hours of calls to Canada a month
I make at least 8 hours of calls to the UK each month.

Can you price that with your current service for me?

as for the numbers, as I read above, there are indeed way too many uninformed consumers out there that really don't know any better and just jump on the first good offer (at least to them) shown to them
