[GreenKeys] Close enough?

[Sheldon Daitch]

I've been a Vonage subscriber since 2006, and it is used to supplement my local telephone service.  If it is free via Vonage and a toll charge on my local service, Vonage wins.  The voice quality on Vonage is great, but it can go downhill depending on how much other bandwidth is being used at the house.



MagicJack isn't quite as good as Vonage, IMNSHO, but it is quite a bit cheaper.

The IT Crowd here has bet the farm on this and doubled down with VoIP
speaker phones that integrate with their precious Microsoft Link service.


Unlike cellphones, my experience with VOIP has been good as far as voice quality goes. Vonage sounds really good and is almost as reliable as the PSTN, and Skype is  broadcast quality until the connection dumps (too often).
