Re: first post ever

Let us hope that this user has now gotten this bull---- out of their system now.

Now lets get back on topic. My household dropped the landline almost a full year ago. 2/24/2004. Been pretty much smooth sailing. I think it would nice to see providers go with devices that have a built in battery backup. Or in some way provide battery backup. Like most of the cable company and Verizon FIOS are doing.

A few major issues seem to concern users who want to switch. Reliability ( is it going to be as stable as my landline ), 911 access and call quality. All of which are very reasonable. Many VOIP companies have had growing pains. The VOIP forum here shows this. It'll be interesting to see how things play out over the next few years.

I think most people will just pay a higher rate and go with what their cable provider is offering. This seems to be the trend at this time.
