Well said kapil; I'm a 56 year old man and I can't stop laughing because I have similar feelings towards Verizon. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,11034787 Thu, 12 Aug 2004 17:39:38 EDT Re: Even if Vonage... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,11034583 Vonage User5 : LOL, well put

Outages should not be acceptable by the consumer.

The industry standard is to maintain no less than 99.999% up time.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,11033627 Thu, 12 Aug 2004 15:36:21 EDT Re: Even if Vonage... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,11033270 SquareSlinky : Can you tell Verizon that, please? For years when ever it rained (I am in florida, it rains for an hour almost every day during the summer) I lost my phone for at least 2 days. I live in the city of Tampa, so I am not in the sticks. Verizon's answer was to get line insurance which costs more. They then replaced a box that they should have replaced in the beginning because its their box, and the problem continued. I eventually moved.

Vonage has gone out on me 2 times in a 1.5 years for 20 minutes. A tiny blip for the cost savings, and a major saver in the pain in the arse verizon factor.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,11033270 Thu, 12 Aug 2004 14:53:02 EDT Re: Even if Vonage... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,11033185 army5 : I'm not real familiar with this type of service, but it would make me wonder how this would affect those needing their phones for emergencies. I'm sure those people would disagree with you.

Outages should not be an acceptable practice.

But really, I have yet to experience any of the outages that I keep reading about.... Maybe I just don't use my phone enough.
