Potential This has the potential to make their VoIP offering better for the customers who subscribe to Covad DSL and Vonage VoIP. It would be pretty trivial for them to eliminate the internet while backhauling their traffic via a dedicated Covad -> Vonage link ... thus vastly improving the quality of their VoIP product. The question is, will they do it?

Re: Potential

I don't think trivial is the right word. They would have to work out a true arrangement with Covad. The current arrangement of "reselling" something is just a marketing one. What your talking about would require more engineering. I don't think they can make that investment.

I don't see that the company itself has problems so much as their stock price has problems. I don't know why anyone would go with the triple play which costs $33 a month on sale while Vonage costs $15 not on sale. Comcast keeps trying to offer that to me each time I call in and I have to point out to them its nowhere near a savings for me...

They would have to work out a true arrangement with Covad. Place a couple high speed backhaul links from diverse Covad POPs to the Vonage datacenter, a couple simple routing rules and you're good to go. It's not rocket science. This is first level CCNA stuff.
