I use vonage with little problems. I know of many others who use it as well.

One quote on a VOIP board said something like that they had the "biggest customer base money could buy" *LOL*. A couple that you might want to check out are www.viatalk.com (but be careful, I got nicely asked to either leave or upgrade to the business plan because I called out more than I got calls in and they said that my profile was "inconsistent with normal residential use"). But in spite of that, I had excellent call quality from them. VOIP Your Life: www.voipyourlife.com has a good price, about the same as Vonage, and I understand their service and support calls are actually answered domestically without voicemail/IVR hell. Big selling point, IMO. I'm giving thought to switching to them myself. Packet8: www.packet8.net has also given me good service in the past. One advantage is that they use a lower bandwidth codec. That also means that call quality is about like your digital cellphone. Sorry, can't remember the name of the company I signed up with after Sunrocket went bust. Oh, two more options: Voicepulse: www.voicepulse.com is considered by many to be the Cadillac of VOIP providers. If you want a pay as you go service, check out http://www.vitelity.net 1.4 cents/minute, all prepaid. Start your account with $35 and recharge with whatever amount as needed. You can opt to have a phone number to receive calls, or not, as you like. Clearly there are several other choices, too, but those are the ones I know a little something about.
