Vonage is a great service but you all are forgetting one thing. It's a phone for Christ's sake and it needs to be reliable.
Since when does a phone crash? When the power in your house goes out, guess what still works: your phone.
If you do a lot of long-distance, Vonage can't be beat. But you give up pretty much 100% uptime. Imagine an important customer calls and can't get though because your ISP, your cable modem, your router, your VOIP box, or your VOIP provider is down! Not worth the $5 or $10 you save by sticking with traditional phone service.
Don't get me wrong...I dislike SBC, GTE, etc.. more than the next guy. And I've had Vonage and think it rocks. But I had to pay for the VOIP box when I through it against a wall because their service was down the 3rd time in a few months.
Also for the record, I barely use my land line. I just need my celly and business is good.
