Hello,

So hard trying to get meaningful answers out of their phone reps.

Presently, we have Verizon for our phone service.
Thinking of getting one of the Comcast packages with their phone service.

Now have 3 phones (extensions) hooked up to Verizon now.
The phones are all wired together, in parallel, in the basement.

If we go with Comcast, do we have to have new Comcast wiring to each
phone jack, or would they just pick up the connection where the 3 phones
are presently wired in the basement, without any new wiring.

New Comcast wiring would be rough, as we had a devil of a time stringing
thru the walls, etc.

How is this handled, please ?

BTW: *how well does Comcast phone work ? *Any caveats or gotchas ?

Thanks,
Bob

I have Comcast, there is no change to the analog side of how your
house phones are wired. Comcast just installs their phone router and
it terminates to your previous main feed which they cut, the other
side of their router simply hooks to the cable, the other side of the
cut main feed (from the pole) they just tape up. The sound quality is
excellent but you have to get used to the 2 or 3 seconds it takes to
get a dial tone, unlike the old all-analog lines. I did not have to
change anything, even the alarm system auto-dialer still works, as
well as the sump pump auto-dialer.
