I just saw your instant message. Keep in mind VOIP isn't a change that should be taken lightly. Definitely do some research in the VOIP forum linked above. Reading the forum FAQ there is definitely something new users should do. If your an inexperienced computer user. VOIP might not be an option that will make you happy. You can save a good amount of money though. And with the right provider you should have a quality experience.

To answer a few of the IM questions.

VOIP.net is a reseller of services from my provider. That means they resell the services of Broadvox Direct. If you buy directly from Broadvox Direct at this time. You would have to pay $29.95. Buying through the reseller VOIP.net you pay $19.95. I have no experience with that company. I bought my service directly from Broadvox Direct. I'm grandfathered in at the old $19.95 rate.

This thread is a good read

»[News] VOIP coming to Springfield

My blog post on the subject. Linked in that thread. Might be worth a read as well.

The best judge of speed for you ( if using an online speed test ). Would be here »chi.speakeasy.net/

This link »ftp://ftp1.optonline.net/pub/test64 ( this link is a direct link to a download ) is a good indicator of true speed. Using a real world download.

That link can always be found at my Insight bookmarks page.

Keep in mind the quality of your internet connection does effect your VOIP quality. Keep in mind that if the power fails or your internet services goes down. You will be without a phone. Unless you have what is called a UPS - which is a battery backup device. For when the power is out.
