My Verizon land line has been rock solid for over a decade now, I never had an outage yet! Now how can you tell me that VOIP that has been running good for 6 months is good? Something as critical as a phone line I would never go with some company that only the geeks have mainly been using. Until it get's more reliable, and they can guarantee 99.9%, along with my ISP I'll switch. Until then, it's POTS for me!

"My POT Rocks!"
I was saying the same thing as you.... but after playing with VOIP for a bit it was an awesome feeling getting rid of POTS! VOIP has features and options that the MaBell's never even dreamed of having! All for a lower price!
Do me a favor... do some research and let me know which POTS provider will allow unlimited calling to the 4 surrounding area codes, caller ID, 3 way, callwaiting, and I'll be nice and stop at voicemail. All for $15.44 a month, thats after fees and taxes by the way. Feel free to IM the info to me, I'll be happy to switch.

Isn't there any positive news on the "news" anymore?
Seems like we always just hear the negative.... I guess you don't find many people running to the forums to post "Hey! My XYZVoip.com service has been running great for 6 months straight!"

 ·Packet8
| I still have not had billing problems (maybe because I updated my CC a couple weeks before it expired after P8 reminded me it was about to expire) and only one time in the last 3 or 4 weeks where I did not get a dial tone (then I just rebooted the DTA and got dial tone). I am still happy with Packet8
