Is Vonage fucked? Is there an alternative?

If this has already been discussed I apologize. I've been traveling a great deal and I'm out of the loop on a few things. I'm told that their site has been down for a week. Could that be true?

their site and my service are both up at the moment. I haven't been having any problems over the last week either.

No shit? Maybe Bellsouth has is blocked. Is it working for everyone else?

I recently heard that vonage customers are having trouble calling toll free numbers. Not sure what the problem is you're experiencing but I've heard of the above problem.

I've had no problems with vonage at all.

infact, i don't think i've had any issues after i got it setup (was a bit quirky to get working w/ the lan here, but after that...)

I get my digital phone service from my cable provider. Time Warner.

All in One - Cable, Internet and Phone.

Working fine here. I switched to the new Linksys MTA that they are now offering. It eliminated a couple of bugs that the Motorola MTA had.

I have heard AT&T are offering a similar service in some areas.

Vonage service is fine.. a few friends work there.

No problems here ...

everything is OK here

My vonage service is up but it is a bit fucked. I hear a pause when I first answer the phone and some times the person on the other end hears an ecko. Is everyones like this?

We just got it last week and I'm not so sure we are going to keep it. Unless there is a way to fix the clarity of it.

Used it for over a year so far at the office and home both... it gets flakey every once in a while but those are most likely just internet routing issues. Otherwise, my experience is that it's always up. For VOIP they're the best choice I think and it appears the company is healthy, financially.

my g/f just left Vonage for this service

Working great for me. I've had them for about 6 months, and am using the Motorola MTA. Took them forever to get my number ported over from SBC (Sucks to Be their Customer). You'll want to make sure your router supports QOS for clearer calls.

Are Skype and Packet8 the same kinds of service?

I have a few vonage lines and they are all awesome... I'll never go back to ma bell.

If you have Bright House cable in your area they are about to start offering this kind of service.

Really? That is good to know. Maybe I will try them out when it becomes available.

my vonage is working fine here. site loads fine, service is great. Just got a 1-800 number with them a few days ago, no problems on either end.

Have Vonage for about 6 months now, and it has been great. Never had a downtime. The only problem I had with thier site for the last couple weeks was that on some days you couldnt download your voicemail messages fromthe PC, and I had to dial in to get them.

Will never go back to the baby bells, my long distance bill went from $200+ a month to 39.95.

:( i have that problem

Vonage is my main phone have had no problems what so ever . Vonage rocks :)

it works fine here everyonce in a while it gets stuck but I think that was my router
