For what it's worth, we switched to Vonage after a move when ComCast told us there'd be a delay of 6-8 weeks getting our telephone set up, though they got cable and broadband internet access set up the day of our move.
We talked about just using our cell-phones, but She Who Must Be Consulted wanted a land-line of SOME sort into the house.
I researched things, ordered a Vonage box, and it arrived two days later. I hooked it up to an unused jack after unplugging our house from the phone net, and we've not had any problems since. Overall, I'm REAL positive on this VOIP stuff.
If the local telcos are losing customers, it just MIGHT be because the end user doesn't want to wait 6 weeks for a phone!

Internet telephony can be appealing for long distance heavy users. I dont think Internet telephony has much competition with local phone service. Actually mobile phone companies are taking customers aways from phone companies.

Vonage is $19.99/month with 500 minutes of LD. You have to be using serious LD to move up to the other plans. Since I switched to Vonage my phone bill has gone from $90/month with Bell to $25/month with Vonage. Are you saying that $65/month isn't serious savings?

I would greatly appreciate a “Service War” forcing Vonage Canada to include the valuable “clik2call” service in their (Canadian) offer.
