Default Re: Recommendations for Phone Service, Cable & Internet Access

To comment a little more on the question that was aksed earlier - if you're using Vonage (or any other VoIP service) and Comcast (or whoever your ISP is) cable service goes down, yes - you also lose your telephone service for the duration of the outage.

My experience is that ISP outages seem to occur much more often than landline or cellular telephone service outages, which is why I would not rely only VoIP telephone schemes.
