You married? Don't forget the wife factor. I had ATT Callvantage, worked good but not great. Was going to save 30 bucks a month since I have the Verizon Freedom Extra plan. But every little glitch, static I had to hear about it. (Wife Factor) Still had same problems with POTS line but that's not my fault. Called Verizon yesterday to have number ported back. I think VOIP is going to be the way to go one day. I didn't like the fact I had to put the VOIP adapter in front of my router. Kinda defeated the purpose of having a good router. I also like to play a lot so everytime I played it knocked out the phones. Not good.. Hope it works out for you! Good luck!

we have it in our house and I wouldn't go back to Verizon. Even if the power goes out, most people have cordless phones so unless they have one with a battery back up they aren't going to be using the phone. Looked at the thread about not being able to call 911. I never heard of that so guess I will use a cell phone if need be. Most of my neighbors are using Vonage and love it too. We were also able to get a local number so guess they were able to work that kink out. Just like the fact that I can take my "phone" with me anywhere.

i love to play games too.. it shouldnt that shouldnt affect anything, and putting it before the router shouldnt affect anything either, just another hop im adding into the circle
