 I said 'many' ;) 

Does Roger Wilco, Teamspeak, and Ventrilo count as VoIP? :) 

I've been using those longer then I can remember.

While there arent many homes with voip yet, there are more and more 
every day.  With vonage and optimum pushing their voip products hard, 
its only a matter of time.  Especially with optimum and their voip + 
cable tv + cable modem for $100/month deal.

I've had VOIP at home for over a year now. (included with my ADSL service)

*choke*
ahhh the classic CableVision bait and Switch ... I'm paying closer to 
$200/month and I don't even have the VOIP yet ...

So im not the only one? heh
im paying $40/month alone just for my cable modem.  The tv adds another 
$80 on top of that.

I REALLY wish there was another cable provider on long island...

All this talk of VOIP Spam (Spit) almost has me thinking of going into the
spammer tools business just so I can name a product LoogieLauncher...

What does suck is that these SPITs will be harder to trace. I'm guessing
they will fall under wiretap laws and such.
Fortunately, in the US, Spit would fall under the TCPA (Telephone Consumer 
Protection Act, not the Trusted Computing Platform Alliance). The US may 
have lousy anti-spam laws, but the unsolicited commercial telephony laws 
are at least somewhat useful.
