You guys act like VOIP is some perfectly standardized technology. It's not.
Anyways, I'm done. You get what you pay for, that's all I'm gonna say.

Strong enough signal to the modem? Because you were going on about the phones being plugged into the router... which makes even less sense.
Voip isn't perfect, and not sure where you got that idea from. The problem here is your use of terms makes no sense.
The first "signal" comes from the coax cable from comcast. If for some reason your "signal" is too low from there you are going to have a lot more problems than just phones not working. You will have problems with the modem even connecting to comcast so that would mean you wouldn't be online at all, or have the modem connecting and disconnecting all the time. That is an issue that would of been addressed by comcast right off. If you can get online and have a acceptable up/down speed you would have no problem with voip working. Voip uses very little bandwidth especially with comcast as they are setup differently than vonage and magic jack. Again you just don't seem to have a grasp of how it works and it sounds like some goof ball comcast tech got you even further confused.
