Sounds cool but..........
What happens when the cat chews your phone line oustide? I can see the commecials now, two guys in a truck looking down a hole, and saying I'm not going down there.
Opp's all ready done and true.
So what are they relying on the Bells to fix the lines or do they? Hmmmm What loops and hoops one must have to go jump into if something goes wrong? I think thats why they say it's a second line and don't just kill the bell yet. |

Vonage uses your broadband connection. If your broadband is working, Vonage should be working.
In this case, if you're using your phone line for a DSL broadband connection, ma bell will be fixing the line.
If your using your cable provider, they'll be fixing the line.
If you have some sort of wireless -- oh wait, no wires here. Nothing to fix.
If you want to know more, www.vonage.com or checkout the VOIP forum here. There's a lot of Vonage posts. |

| If your paying for DSL, your DSL provider would come out and fix the lines. Depending on the wire plan you have. Obviously anyone considering using Vongage for their phone systems should have a backup (cell), and should also call their DSL provider and make sure they have the "inside wiring" plan. |
