Vonage is far from rock-solid. As a person who works the ISP side of things, I can tell you this much about Vonage:
1. It's call quality is, for the most part, sub-par. Now, with cordless phones and the like it's not usually noticed or, if it is, it is attributed to the cordless phone or the ISP.
2. Having just made the above statement, Vonage's reliability and (to some degree) call quality is reliant upon your ISP. Bad ISP or poor line quality= dropped calls and voice digitization and degradation.
I, however, agree wholeheartedly that the conglomeration of baby bells back into Ma Bell is a horrible oversight by our government and should have been stopped before it was allowed to happen. This is just the fallout from cronie capitalism.
The Galaxy Tab 10.1, much like its Limited Edition sibling that we reviewed last month, is ever-so-slightly thinner than the iPad 2, a slate that most sane individuals (and competitors, for that matter) would confess is the market leader today.

Vonage is rock solid!! I switched in 2005 and there service has only improved, despite theese desperate attempts by the fledgling phone companies.
