The only problem we have had with Comcast telephone is that if the cable goes out, so does your telephone service. We have had the cable cut during some landscaping misadventures and lost telephone as well as TV and internet until it was repaired. But other than those episodes, we have had very few cable interruptions.
A friend of mine got the Comcast telephone and he did not have a telephone jack near the computer. They put the telephone modem in another room. Do you know if you can opt for a second modem for the telephone service and have them put it in another room?

The reason I ask is I am thinking about going out and buying my own cable modem and dropping the $7 a month charge.

Maybe I should do an online chat to work through my questions.
