Price.
Voicewing costs $25 tax = $30 per line

My Verizon POTS cost me $125 to $140 a month for 2 lines.

Verizon digital voice costs $45 or whatever.

Voicewing, is VoIP and your Telephone Number is built into an IP Address and uses more of the Data Network. FiOS POTS the Telephone Number is built into the Switch and uses the PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network.)

Voicewing is VOIP service with the "first mile" over the public internet. POTS is over the Public Switched Telephone Network. FiOS Digital Voice will be probably be VOIP service with the "first mile" over a dedicated network just as cable digital voice is.

Sounds sort of about right.

On AT&T it is (or was) pretty similar:

POTS: $40/month + $5 Canada ~= $58/month
former Call Vantage = $25/month + tax
Uverse voice (in the few Uverse arease that actually carry it) = $20-$40/month.
