Why are you getting rid of Vonage?


To my reading, he isn't. He is simply WIRING new jacks. That should be done
regardless of the carrier.

I have Sprint for home service right now and am switching to
cable phone because Sprint's rates are too high.


Are you switching to another POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) carrier or to
VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol)? There is a BIG difference.

Vonage and Skype (for example) use VoIP.

CATV companies are now providing dialtone over their coaxial cables. The RT
(remote terminal) is mounted on the back of the house where the digital signal
is converted to analog for use by the phones (etc) inside. (Digital phone
service, my @$$. Show me a digital phone and I'll be impressed.)

Haven't gotten it yet, they will be here Monday
between 8 and 12. Yeah right!


Good luck. When the freebies and incentives are all used up, let us know how
much you are REALLY saving.
