Who is using VoIP and how do you like it?
 
In my never ending quest to run everything off a high speed Internet connection.

I think I have settled on Boxee for movies/TV/video (until someone points me to another shiny box that promises me more).

Now to dump the phone line... I am aware of 'magic jack' and 'Vontage'. What other players are there in this game and how do they stack up?

Note that I have yet to find a cell phone that equals the sound quality of my land line therefore I still cling to my big old analog phone with it's sweet fat sound (despite my wife pleading with me to dump the land line to save $$$).

Which begs the question... Do the VoIP phones have the same sound quality as a regular land line?

I use Ooma for VoIP. My monthly cost is $3.47. Quality and service have been solid and it integrates with google voice.

another vote for ooma

There is a woot-off going on and they regularly throw the Ooma up.

We use Vonage. Nettalk 50% of my devices died in less than a year.

We use 8X8 at the office and it's great. Not sure if they do residential.

Steve, did you get the referal bonus? 8x8 works very well for my office as well.

We didn't get it yet. I think you have to remain a customer for 60 days before we get the credit. Glad to hear it is working out for you. Thanks again!

Use magic jack, just a cheap way to keep an state-side number. It's ok, but dependent on how well your computer is running, speed of internet connection, etc. It's just ok.
