Cool. Comcast seems to charge me for EVERYTHING!

Again, that depends on the cable company. If you get phone bundled in
with Cablevision, you get a single unit that's both the cable modem
and the VOIP adapter

Interesting. Does that lock you into Cablevisions VOIP service or can you
use it with other VOIP providers?


You can't use the Cablevision VOIP hardware with any other VOIP service.
But you can use any other VOIP hardware and service, eg Ooma, Vonage,
MagicJack, etc. That stuff is so cheap, it doesn't much matter.
