I would say a lot of people simply don't know.

When they call the cable company to install cable, the cable company then has the opportunity to market phone service to them. Vonage doesn't have that.

a lot of people only remember the horror of dealing with telco. the cableco price, while more expensive than most voip options, is less expensive than comparable telco unlimited plans. so people hate telco and want to save. they do'nt realize or are scared of other options. so i change my response: part ignorance, part dumb.

Here's the issue with that though.. I would go through my cable provider for phone service but they would not port my number because it's from another city (about 10 mins away). I'm using Vonage because they are the only ones that would port my number in. Comcast will only port numbers in their "rate center".

i have a question: why would you prefer to go through your cable provider for phone service if they could port your number? considering it's not price, why would you prefer them?

just to confirm: to you, a combined bill is worth $5-$10 extra a month?

The cable company has to follow the same guidelines as a telco. If you tried to take that number from Vonage and say go back to ATT you wouldn't be able to do it. With Vonage you can take your hookup to any broadband connection and use that number.
