I have a decent DSL stream of 1.5 mbps and a pretty decent upload…..we have had Vonage for some time now and the service sucks…..the quality of the sound is bad, the line is staticy, very scratchy, cuts in and out….I tried to call and cancel but they put me on hold for 45 minutes only to tell me their account managers are gone for the weekend. Is there anything I can do? My DSL is pretty much at max speed? Are there better VoIP services out there?

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

When I say “delay”, I’m referring to the kind of delay experienced when talking on cell phones, that causes the two people to interrupt and talk over each other.

I’m interested in any other drawbacks of this service as well. Thanks!

I have vonage and it sucks! It is always breaking up and dropping calls and I want to know a GOOD alternative.

I would like to hook up an old Western Electric candlestick phone I have fom the 1920’s. It is old school rotary dial, the real antique deal. Trouble is, VoiP protocals dont allow for rotary phones, only touch tone.

How can I hook this thing up? DTMF convertor? Or does anyonwe else have another way.

Thanks
