After closing my Vonage account and switching to CDV, everything went smooth. The call seem the same if not better. The call priority is awsome if you downoload and upload a lot. My installer was cool as hell also lol. Not to much to say at the moment I only had it for maybe 12 hours so far. I will post most in a week or so.

| price jump in 12 months For "value", did you check what the ongoing cost will be after the 12 month triple play special price expires.
I was told the $99 plan becomes about $140/month after the year. | |

| Re: price jump in 12 months Wow, I couldn't handle such a cable bill.
My comcast tv and comcast internet run total of $61/month. With all fees, my telephone thru viatalk runs $12.05/month for unlimited local/long distance (2 yr deal). Or a total of $73/month. Actually, since I referred a friend to VT and they signed up, I get 10% less than that. Anyway, comcast triple play just doesn't cut it for me before or after the promo period. 
Oh...on the priority for upload/download, I have a router with QoS and tweaked my settings while running DSLR speedtests, mainly listening on the "other" side of the voip call so I can hear what happens during the upload test. The most I get now is just a click or pop during such an extreme test. So, it is possible to get good non-comcast voip service.
And on battery backup, I have a huge battery backup that all my network equipment is powered by. I can go at least 12 hours with phone and internet connectivity during an outage. My battery backup uses a deep-cycle marine battery. | |
