| It's not really suprising.
VOIP is "not ready for prime time". It has it's share of problems, is inconsistent, unavailable and unreliable as compared to POTS. Yeah, it's cheap. But you get what you pay for.
I know I'll get a bunch of happy VOIP users comment that it works wonderfully for them. But for most of the non daring, regular folks it's a gamble with little informative information available without digging and comes with a lot of strings.
And I'm not convinced that when you add up ALL the costs and look at your specific call pattern, it's as big a savings as people believe. | |

| Yep I'm one of those happy VOIP customers, Vonage works great for me. However I originally got Vonage as a backup to my cell phone, not to replace POTS. One thing these articles always leave out is that most people aren't getting rid of their POTS for VOIP, they are going strictly going with their cellphones. In my circle of friends I know only one guy who has POTS, but I'm the only one with VOIP, everyone else just uses their cellphones. I got rid of my POTS line long before I got Vonage, and I'll never go back.
