Re: tmobile voice I use Skype all the time... and even over a VPN tunnel through a Squid proxy server, and it still works.
I'll admit that it is not as robust as a dedicated VoIP like cable or Uverse style.
I do like the Cable VoIP in the fact that the overall Internet connection can be hosed, and VoIP will still work (router outage in my area).
I'm glad to see (although too late for me!) that AT&T has decided to lower its price on VoIP (although it wasn't until CV stopped taking orders). This at least brings a triple play a little closer to my price point.
Eg. Over first year period:
TWC: $89 + ~$5 franchise fees for VoIP, 6Mbps/512kbps, Digital TV + 3 analog sets:
Monthly: $95
Year: $1140
AT&T: (1 tuner) $59 for U200, $35 for 6Mbps, $30 for Uverse VoIP
Monthly: $124 (assuming no other fees!)
Year: $1488, $1188 after $300 cash back
Not a whole lot of difference, slight advantage, TWC - extra TV's for free, no MIR cash back waiting.. and of course, the most important Uverse Voice is NOT AVAILABLE in the Los Angeles area!! That $30 VoIP = $57 POTS.
