Using a Time Warner cable modem I have Time Warner and
NetTalk lines. A friend has Vonage. Time Warner and Vonage
are indistinguishable from conventional land lines. When I
originally got NetTalk it took about two weeks to convince
them that Rome, NY is in the United States and service
wasn't good enough to make it our primary line. It has
gotten a lot better but we still use it primarily for fax
and use Time Warner for our primary voice line. The main
reason we use Time Warner is that it and our TV are a lot
cheaper by "bundling."
