I'm a very happy Vonage customer and, even with all of their litigation woes, I am really pulling for them to succeed. We have had problems only a couple of times but the outages were not long at all. I am very happy paying ~$18 for phone service, though we're getting ready to bump up to the $25 unlimited service in January.
I have been with vonage for almost three years. I hope they will pull through. Verizon and at&t are simply trying to kill the competition. They see that more people were flocking to Vonage and started chickening out so they came up with the greatest invention - patent lawsuit. I wonder how companies can prove that another company willingly infringed on a patent??? It's not like Vonage built their routers and the equipment piece by piece (meaning starting from the transistors, resistors, IC chips, condensers etc..). They bought it from someone so obviously the manufacturer had to pay some kind of the license. Why are the big A-Holes go after the smaller guy is beyond me. That's why I strongly support smaller companies. I could go to at&t for my DSL at $20 per month but I chose to pay Cyberonic $50 because I can get better service and they don't give a damn what I use my pipe for. And one more minor thing...cyberonic won't turn over my details to the government like at&t did.
