Re: why pay monthly? said by elios:said by knightmb:said by otty:I just quit Vonage. I dont see why people would use pay-monthly VOIP when you can get it neary free through Skype or even cheaper-voipbuster. People still want phones. I like talking on a phone that doesn't depend on my PC to work. Skype / MagicJack / etc is cool and all, but they are only one solution to the many that exist and what people want from a phone service. you can get skype wi-fi based phones that are about the size of a cell phone that work just fine with no PC May be true people still want phones, just like they want mp3 players AND cell phones AND tvs AND pcs AND gpss seperate, but why? As usual its just people following the trend. Just moved from the UK where it's cheap to have your mp3 AND gps AND internet AND (kinda) PC in one, AND, at home, your internet and tv on a big screen. No matter the money to be made on keeping all of this (and other services I can't think of right now) seperate, eventually the big corp.s will learn, and provide it ALL....As I pointed out about VOIP its already here take advatage if you're in the 'know'.
EDIT: Want some proof? check out Virgin Medias 20mb service I had over there (freely upgraded by more than 2x in my first year). This is REAL cometition getting REAL service (no downtime in 2 years, no caps(throttled daily after 2gb download to 7mb...no extra charge)) The US should take notice NOT TO MENION CANADA WHERE IT RELLY SUCKS!!! »allyours.virginmedia.com/html/in···_xl.html |
