I just switched to Vonage.

I have had Vonage for 4 years now. Once in 4 years we were without
Internet for a day. My cell phone worked fine that day. Also once
during that time our power went out but I plugged in the generator and
we had phone and internet. My Vonage bill is $20 a month because we
pay for it a year at a time. The features you get with Vonage are
great and land lines don't even come close to what they offer. I
would never go back to a land line.

I've had a Magicjack for about two years, it's gotten
better with upgrades and such but I would not recommend
one as a primary phone. I've used it in some odd situations,
like I used it on a wireless network to link to a neighbor
who had a WiFi router plugged into a stand alone G3 modem
that actually got close to 3meg download speeds at times.
The Magigjack works very well on this 10meg cable connection
I'm on now. It's fun to go someplace that has open WiFi and
sit there with a standard phone and a laptop and carry on
conversations with folks.
