I have Vonage, overall for the money we're pleased. Sound quality is good enough, our only issue has been going through three phone boxes in three years, always replaced for free but still a pain. We have 911, and it forwards to our cell phone when the service has gone down so we don't miss our calls. My wife calls and faxes a lot of long distance for her home business, if we had SBC her entire paycheck would go for the phone bill. Overall I would recomend it, but if money were no option we would just get a landline.

Something nobody tells you, one phone box will operate an entire home. Just plug the phone box output into a regular household phone jack, and since phone lines are wired in series, you'll have it through your entire house. I have had to unplug the land line in the SBC box, it seems to screw with the Vonage signal. Also very sensitive to poor connections within the phone circuit, when we move it normally takes a few hours to get everything straight. Just thought I'd throw that in, most people hate the idea of only having one phone.
