I'm currently going through the same decision process right now for our new home in Bonita that we are building. I'm considering doing what sschuler1 did - going with Comcast for cable and Internet and then maybe giving Magic Jack a try for our home phone.
In my current house in Albany I have a land line for phone service. Besides clarity of calls that Julie mentioned, I like having a land line because I find my home phone more comfortable to use for long phone conversations than my cell phone. I would like to have a house phone and Magic Jack may be a way to allow me to do that at a much lower cost.
I will say that Comcast is very persistent in trying to get me to sign up with them for service. I signed a contract to build a house in Bonita on Wednesday (the closing date is 1/14/10). On Thursday, Comcast called my cell phone twice about setting up service at my new house. They also sent me an e-mail AND sent a letter to my home address in New York State.
