I would stay with the land line. with a VoiP you will have two bills. one for cable or dsl. and one with the VoiP

Answer 2

If you want a really good service with a company that has an excellent customer support, then I think I can help you.

I have checked and the company I am thinking about can give you phone and internet.

If you care to email me I will then be able to send you a web site address where you can get all the information.

Answer 3

even when i worked for VZ i used to tell people to get a cable modem as it is faster then DSL.... and the cost is much better then FiOS for similar speeds...

if you are going to go with a VoIP service... the phone service provided from your cable company is the best choice, as they are able to control the QoS of the voice packets traveling over there closed network....

vonage, or any other VoIP provider, while the cost may be less then the cable company, will not be able to guarantee any level of QoS as the service goes over the internet, and all packets on the internet are treated equal...

Answer 4

There's a nice free online resource that will search and compare DSL, Cable, and Satellite providers by location.  It'll show cost etc and I believe any current "specials".

There's also a free online resource that will do the same thing for land line and broadband (VoIP) phones.  For example they have a "Best Rate Calculator" for land line phones on their site.  Shows cost including fees etc.  Again .... link provided:
