How do you get that it's cheaper?
Vonage is $14.99 and $24.99 all inclusive.
TWC digital phone is $39.99 and has many less features. Tack on another $2.99 for voicemail.
Everyone's experience will be different for VOIP providers but I've had two problems with Vonage in almost three years. One was the voicemail indicator light not going off properly (my router) and the other was voicemail from email not getting delivered for about 3 days (vonage problem). TWC has offered me a great service in RR which leads me to no problems with Vonage as my VOIP so I commend both companies. To say that TWC digital phone is cheaper is just ridiculous. |

Neither person said it was cheaper than Vonage. They said it was cheaper than POTS.
I personally had nothing but trouble with Vonage over RR. Dropped calls, I can hear people but they couldn't hear me. I even had my ATA disconnected for 2 months and Vonage never once called or sent an email saying, "Hey, did you know your ATA hasn't communicated with us in 2 months?", they happily kept billing me of course.
Of course, I had a few problems with TW's own digital phone service too.
I'm with Nuvio now and the quality is much better than Vonage. |

I have zero problem with my $20 Packet 8 service (apart from their retarded billing department). |

i have vonage and love it. however when comparing prices you need to include some kinda highspeed internet dsl or cable into the vonage price. i had cable modem anyway so its no extra for me . But grandma who has no highspeed, vonage is gonna be like 60 bucks total compared to cable cos voip 39.99 is all you need to pay. also with vonage you better be able to handle your own issues, there is no one to come out fix your problems. for someone like me id rather have it that way. but again grandma who dont know what the internet is, its a problem. |

Either way, I look at it as a 'cheaper gample' ...
For $24.99, a man's home in Chaska MN burned down because his Vonage service wasn't able to get him emergency service quickly.
For $24.99, we're heard about ambulances not showing up on time or in the correct location and people have died.
Yes, 3rd party VoIP service might be cheaper than their counter parts of the cable companies or even cheaper than POTS, but in the long run, ask those people I mentioned above if the "vonage service was a cheaper alternative to pots"...
And as for TWC being #1? I doubt it. How can you claim that? are you talking about in the areas they service and against others who provide those areas? Comcast offers a better voip service than TWC for less money than TWC - but they don't compete. In some areas, Verizon offers their unlimited service for less than both TWC and Comcast.
Basically, it's a blanket statement that the OP made - am curious why he says that. |

Same price as TWC | 
Hmm add tax and how much is this now? |
I think someone is Wrong? Also it works the same as TWC so how can you say That? come really..
So i can say TWC will be #1 in Voip in a few months and yes Comcast will be # 2 in a year. So people will be like Vonage who was that did they offer DLS or something. |
