I would jump on Vonage, if only I could trust my broadband. How can I add another level of complexity to an already apparently volatile home "utility"? I don't like my local phone company for various reasons, and given an alternative like this, I would gladly switch.
However, I have to call Charter once a week at least because of my internet connection suddenly dying for 5 - 10 minutes. I know that Vonage isn't for 911, but I don't really want to have to worry about being on the phone with my family and wait 5 minutes between words.
Maybe if Vonage started offering broadband themselves in my area, then I could feel like they'd be responsible for keeping the line up.
I wouldn't have cable television if every 15 minutes or so my electricity would go out. It wouldn't be worth it, and I couldn't complain to charter about that! |
