magicalone @comcast.net from: pnh102	I don't think Vonage can qualify as a "start-up" anymore, since they only have ~150-200,000 customers; I can see a company with under 5-10,000 users having some small issues, but with those numbers times say 29.00 (subtracting for regulatory fees) that still comes up to be a huge number and yes I do reconize the costs associated with running a network of Vonage's size. Network Engineering and Security should be on the top of their priority list; especially since this is not their 1st outage in the last couple of months.

They originally raised $100 million when they started the company and now need an additional $100 million to get back to break-even. They are losing customers monthly due to their quality problems. You are absolutely right about their needing to accept responsibility for their network issues. Had they built a true VoIP network like Champion Communications did instead of laying VoIP technology on top of the old switching technology they wouldn't be having many of the probems they are experiencing.
