Re: Recommendations for Phone Service, Cable & Internet Access

One clarification on Skype. Although Skype to Skype is free, now any non-S-S calls (to businesses, incoming non-Skype etc) have a charge. It used to work great for Skype to Skype international calls to friends.
Also with the new digital house phones you only need one connection in your house (unless you want multiple phone numbers). The connection to your phone s/b where you want your base phone with the recorder. The new phones use wireless extensions back to the base phone. You can have an extension wherever theres an AC outlet at anytime you want.
Panasonic works fantastic. Some of the others have serious interference, clarity or distance issues. You can get a 3-4 phone combo at Sam's for $80. Not worth running the additional wiring and you have the connivance of relocating extension (yes event to the patio or bathroom) any time you want.
Also works great as intercom, speaker phones and transfers all your phone numbers to every extension.
