|  DON'T rush to judgement yet!!
I have Vonage since last March, NO OUTAGE here. Incoming and outgoing are trouble free.
There's still a few Vonage customers who don't have their Motorola MTA behind a router. I was seeing DAILY lockups until I finally broke down and got a router last week. |

I've had landline service on my own for over 6 years now, and have NEVER been down!

If the Motorola MTA is intended to be behind a router, Vonage needs to change their setup instructions on their site (which indicates to the user to hook MTA up between the modem and router). |

At least not when you needed it... But are you positive it hasn't gone down? You monitor your POTS 24/7? |

| Actually yes. I have an alarm system that has a log to tell if the line ever went down. Then got a seperate line for that because you shouldn't have both DSL and that on the same line. So now I also have DSL with a 2wire modem and I can tell in that log if it has ever gone out...because the modem has been on 24/7. So in all honesty, yes.

actually they say either is acceptable, however you will lose the QOS features if behind the router. |

Winchester, CA | How can you NOT hook it up with a router? my Cisco MTA unit requires something to give it an IP? my ISP uses static (I am the isp HEHEHE)
I have several vonage users on our wireless system and they seem to be fine just I as I am.. |

| The Cisco and Motorola are two different beasts, as shown here. |
