Re: Five Years and Out
said by WAVZuser  :I admire your courage. You're giving up reliability. You're going to wade into the waters and try something new. Whichever company you're going to, you probably know relatively little about its reliability as compared to Vonage, and absolutely nothing about its finances or how many customers it has, but you're going to take the plunge anyway. Not really. Regarding reliability, my new provider just had a data center crash the other day and my service never blinked. It rolled over to the backup center in maybe two minutes -- that more than meets my requirement of a ten minute maximum downtime.
Things fail, but I'm confident that my provider's backup system works because I was there when it was tested. THAT is much better than my experiences in the early days of Vonage (multi-hour blackouts).
As for finances, well, let's just say that I certainly do know how Vonage's finances are doing, and that was one of the reasons I was thinking of moving.
said by WAVZuser :I guess Vonage got too boring for you, so you need adventure.  Well, if you spell "boring" e-x-p-e-n-s-i-v-e and "adventure" v-a-l-u-e, then yes, exactly!
said by WAVZuser :I hope it works out for you. Please keep us updated. I will! So far, so good, but it's early in the day.
If things don't work out with my current provider I'll certainly not hesitate to move again. My next-up service would be CallCentric, I think. They have about the best reputation in the business, with long term reliability second to none. I'm hoping (and I think it's a reasonable expectation) that my new provider will meet those standards, but time will tell. |
