I also have Vonage and have really liked it, but almost everytime
I am talking to someone there comes a time where I can hear them
but they cannot hear me and they usually hang up in frustration.
I get frustrated too and now it seems I explain to everyone that
calls that this happens, so to wait a minute and see if it
clears. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. Any ideas as
to what the problem may be? I have four phones and it happens on
all of them. My router is pretty new....had to replace an old
one and the one I have was sent by Vonage.
Could it be my cable moden? Any ideas or help would be
appreciated.
Thanks,

Vonage drops voice at some point on almost every phone call you
have, but you really like it? Must not take much to make you
happy. If my phone service was doing that, I sure wouldn't put up
with it for more than a few days. What does Vonage say?

I have Vonage. but do not experience drops or other problems others
have here. I have a Linksys 54G wireless router and a Linksys PAP2
VOIP phone adapter. My wife works from home and is doing database
development into her employer and does it at least 8 hours per day.

I have heard of problems using an integated router/phone adapter.

Have your cale company check out the cable, splitters, and any filters
that may be attached. I had some trouble with my internet and when
the cable techs came out and found some of the splitters were not
rated high enough. Our system required 900Mhz splitters. They were
rpelaced and I ahve yet to have a single problem, either with internet
or digital HD cable TV.
