which is cheaper for a non dsl costumer vonage or ATT CV
AT&T CallVantage is cheaper IF and ONLY IF you are a current customer of AT&T ADSL, AT&T U-Verse, and/or AT&T Wireless. If you have any and/or all of those other AT&T Services, you qualify for the $5/month discount which makes the AT&T monthly cost $20/month for the unlimited plan.

If you do NOT have any of those services from/thru AT&T, then CallVantage and Vonage are the same price ($25/month for unlimited).

Of course, if you call Western Europe, Vonage is probably a better deal for you, as some European calls are included (I think?) in the Vonage deal. AT&T CallVantage is unlimited only to US & Canada (but I have a feeling that is plenty for many, if not most, US consumers).]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20437123 Mon, 05 May 2008 21:52:02 EDT Re: HELP - Vonage Internet slowdown http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20435722 DownTheShore : Pardon my ignorance, but why would putting another router before the Vonage router cause it not to affect the internet speeds? What settings are changed to make a difference? Isn't the Vonage router doing the same thing it was doing before?

My current set up is:
Broadband > Cable Modem > Vonage Adapter/Router > Computer

Where do you put the other router in that set-up?

On the other hand, it's no big deal to run the Vonage ATA through a "real" router, and these days they cost peanuts. You won't experience much in the way of problems if you do that (as others have already pointed out).]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20434968 Mon, 05 May 2008 14:53:33 EDT Re: HELP - Vonage Internet slowdown http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20432853 jchambers28 : which is cheaper for a non dsl costumer vonage or ATT CV]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20432853 Mon, 05 May 2008 02:32:07 EDT Re: HELP - Vonage Internet slowdown http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20427358 ILpt4U :
said by WillyO :

I am a new vonage user and have had no problems with the phone service. However, the vonage router (Motorola VT2142RB) seems to be choking my internet speed to dial-up speeds. I am able to reset my ATT supplied motorola modem and get the speeds back up to normal for a few hours, but then it slows to a crawl again.

Vonage says there will be some slowdown with their router, but this is unbearably slow. Vonage had be change the QOS settings, but this morning I had the same problem again.

Anyone have a similar problem.

FYI, it is a brand new house with CAT 5.
As an AT&T DSL Customer, you qualify for AT&T's VoIP called CallVantage (CV) at a price of $19.99/month for unlimited local/long distance calling. Similar to Vonage, but $5 less for unlimited US & Canada calling.

»www.usa.att.com/callvantage/index.jsp?
866-596-8464 is CallVantage Customer Service.

To get the $20/month for AT&T DSL customers, you have to call customer service. But it is there. AT&T will supply their own Telephone Adapter for CV]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20427358 Sat, 03 May 2008 19:04:56 EDT Re: HELP - Vonage Internet slowdown http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20426400 Scree : It's just a lousy router design, I'd imagine. lol]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20426400 Sat, 03 May 2008 15:04:51 EDT Re: HELP - Vonage Internet slowdown http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20424546 jchambers28 : why is there a slow down with their router did a bypass with vonage router service works great its ok as long you don't hook a pc up to it why is that just wondering?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20424546 Sat, 03 May 2008 01:46:46 EDT Re: HELP - Vonage Internet slowdown http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20334211 dualsub2006 : I don't use my Vonage router as a router.
