cost:  vonage is less.\n\nsetup:  timewarner set it up. vonage did not set up mine.  I set it up vonage myself.  you can have the geek squad at best buy or someplace set vonage up.  or a friend that can do it for free.

I think it's 192.168.15.1 not sure though.could be 192.15.1.1 but anyway call vonage tech support and they'll walk you through it.

Oh, I thought they were the same thing.  They both are a pain the arse, and they both come and go as they please, some staying longer than at other times, but all in all, as far as I can see, they are exactly as your first answer says, telemarketers are hemmies with headsets!

Yu still have to have a voice and DSL line and a phone bill. Vonage has really competitive pricing against VOIP. You can download Skype for free. The thing about VOIP is that you can have a video phone and pay the same rate to look at some one while you talk. This is more of an added value feature for DLS providers.

I have Vonage - love the service (phone works great) but if you ever have to call them there is a good chance you will struggle to communicate with the person who answers the phone.  \n\nI have called them a half dozen times or so and my best experience was a guy who's accent was mild enough for me to understand him and he understood me!  Only happened once though, the rest of the time we were both repeating ourselves over and over, it has been very frustrating!!\n\nNever dealt with ANC.

Of the three you mentioned, Vonage is still the best.  I tried Sunrocket and had nothing but trouble with it.\n\nPresently I'm using 1Touchtone.com.  Check them out at http://www.1touchtone.com  I've been very satisfied with them.  They are much more likely to have local numbers in small towns than the major players such as Vonage or AT&T, neither of which has local numbers in my area.

cable.  and then, if you ever want to reconnect your land line, you can use the cable companies phone service (optimum in my area) or you can try vonage, which I have.. it's pretty cool and only 15-25 bucks, depending on your plan.

No choice here on the other two but at least in my little town in Ohio we have phone choices. Alltel or Ohiotelnet, and there is also vonage if you have cable Internet.

skype, rather than running through an actual phone like vonage and some other services do, this runs through a program on your computer.  I'm not sure if you can call outside phone lines, but I think you can for a relatively minimal charge.

You may have a contract with your current carrier that requires you stay unless you pay a certain fee to cancel out early. You may have to call Vonage to get them to release your number.

I tried Lingo and it sucked on multiple levels. It was a couple years ago, this is what I remember.\nThe first box I got did not work, I had to send it back and get another one, where is their QA?\nThe first 2 months of service was fine, but then things started to fall apart.\nI would hear people as if they were under water, but they could hear me fine.\n\nDon't forget to check out my3cents dot com\n\nTheir voice mail system sent me .wav files that my computer said were corrupt.\nTheir billing system did not log all incoming or outgoing calls, just randomly billed for whatever.\nTheir tech support always wanted my help, duh, I don't get paid to debug your system.

i had the same problem when i first got Vonage. i discovered that my cable was going out while i was at work, and that lost the connection with vonage. has your cable gone down and come back up without you knowing?

Vonage is a popular internet phone service, but you will have to have high-speed internet already to use any of these telephone services.

Vonage has a WiFi phone available that I think is pretty much what you are looking for.  \n\nhttp://vonage.com/device.php?type=F1000\n\nHope this helps.

VOIP is the best ever.  It hooks into your regular telephone so you can't tell a difference!  The only thing is when dialing you have to dial the area code (atleast for Vonage that's what I use).  When you get voicemails you can also opt to receive email notification which lets you listen to the message.  You pay no long distance to US and Canada (they have different plans too).  VOIP is definately not too new to consider.  As long as you have your high speed internet connection you have phone service and no long distance bill.

Unplug both broadband and vonage modems for a few then plug them back in. Broadband reveals pc activity then plug the voip. This should help.Vonages customer service by phone is the worst tech support I ever have dealt with. Be prepared to spend an hour on hold.
