I compared VOnage to VoicePulse and went with VoicePulse. Cindy Connerly is I think who recommended it to me. RIght now I'm paying $18/month. I have a local # my kids can call free. I have free everywhere US and I think it's free some international but haven't used that much. I have all the extras of caller ID, I can assign ring tones (it's nice to know when it's the ex calling!), I can put it on do not disturb, I can go to the website and see every call made and taken for a couple of months....which came in handy when I had to prove my time for a certification recently. Since I don't use the phone a whole lot I have 200 minutes LD for the $18. If I want unlimited it's $24.95. I kid all the time that I should be a paid spokesperson for them cause I think they are fantastic!! LOL!
My kids just gave me a new TV, high def. Told them now I need them to pay the Comcast bill for it. Comcast nickels and dimes you for every service and rarely is it what they advertise.
My current day job pays the internet fees, however, so I don't complain tooooo much. (Although Haggis now has me curious about looking into DirectTV..... can I use DVR with that? LOL!)

I have Vonage and would never go back. Whereas Verizon charged $8.95 for each "extra" (caller ID, call waiting, etc.) and LD plans were a nightmare, it's all considered basic on Vonage. I do have Comcast for cable and am often disgusted with the service, so can't picture wanting to give them more money. Their package deal where you get TV, internet, and phone for $33 each is not the final price, though I'm not sure what it goes up to after the 3 or 6 months are up. I just pay $25, period. I have DirecTV and had to get basic cable because it made the internet cheaper (?) and so have been able to compare the picture quality. DTV wins hands down--and when you get a premium channel with DTV, you get ALL the package, not just the main channel in the East/West versions. (Granted, it's been years since we just had cable, but I was shocked when I went satellite and found Starz should've had a DOZEN channels included. . .).
Vonage also has free calling out of country (all of NA and much of Europe) and fairly cheap rates beyond that. You can tweak your options online and take your modem along when you travel, as well. Definitely don't miss having to have an answering machine--the voice mail works fine and you also can get email alerts if you've missed a call.
