Re: Lets see...

Agreed!
Third party VoIP use the actual HSI connection for the voice service - CDV does not.

Internet can go down, no third party VoIP is going to work - CDV most likely will!

CDV is backed up by battery - my modem is not.
No modem - no HSI - no VoIP/
CDV doesn't need modem or internet.
CDV does work in a power outage.

My choice was for the CDV as opposed to third party VoIP solution.
Yeah, CDV costs more than say AT&T CV or Vonage - it'll work though when *they* will not.
I definitely agree with that. My previous AT&T VOIP service was good, but if the internet or power died, it died with it.

The price was creeping up. So, I went looking elsewhere and found CDV in a package deal, for only a few cents more then what my bill already said.

With it, I get 7 digit dialing again, battery backup when the power goes out, and working E-911.

To me, that is worth the slightly more money I pay CDV for. If it wouldn't have been CDV, I'd have evaluated my options and balanced features, price and uptimes and went like that.

CDV was the best choice all around and with what AT&T is doing now, it looks like I made the right choice as CallVantage looks to be going bye bye and I'd lose service anyway.
