I have vonage.  I really like the fact that you can configure it via
a web page.  I've used it to tweeked my phone forwarding options --
I don't think I could have gotten it correct without trying
a few times and getting the feedback right away.

Most of my co-workers are in MD, so I got a MD phone number.

I did have quality problems, but since I moved the voip router
in front of my main router, it's been fine.

The problem I was haveing was quarter second gaps in all sound. Made
it difficult with conference calls.

My mom has twc, and has had no problems.
