VoIP - Did you know?

VoIP services are not yet as reliable and clear as traditional phone systems. If you have a high-speed internet connection with fast upload (256k) and download speeds, then you are likely to be satisfied with VoIP phone service.

While VoIP phone service is an excellent option for some people, we don't feel it is ready to replace most residential or business phones services.
