I have a 400ft run of buried broadband cable running down my driveway. When I connect the VoIP TAD unit to my cable modem and listen to a phone I have plugged into the TAD I hear the dial tone but very clearly also hear a Spanish rock station. I’m guessing that the long run is causing my cable line to behave like an antenna but I don’t know how to filter it out. Any ideas are appreciated.
I most likely should have added earlier that this is my second cable. The first was the wrong type for that long of a run. Sorry about that.

US has several services that offer free long distance calls by dialing toll-free numbers and listening to some ads. Does Canada have something similar?

im thinking of getting vonage or some other voip provider but all i can find is the “great” things about them. i just want to know some disadvantages like not being able to recieve calls or make calls and the like. thanks

There are a number of low-cost software programs available that let you call a regular landline phone; Skype, Vonage, Magic Jack . . . and the list goes on.

From those of you who have tried any of this, what can you list as the pros and cons of the program you used?
