Even if Vonage...

...had an outage every hour and attached electrodes to my nuts and shocked the living bejesus out of me to notify me of such outages each time they occured...IT WOULD STILL BE BETTER than dealing with the blood sucking nephews of Satan who staff the SBC customer service department.

Re: Even if Vonage...

Here here! I'll take an occasional outage over over-priced POTS any day.

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.

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.

Re: Even if Vonage...

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.

Let me clarify my response to the original post:

Outages should not be acceptable by the consumer.

Well said kapil; I'm a 56 year old man and I can't stop laughing because I have similar feelings towards Verizon.
