I tried Vonage and the quality was terrible. I couldn't hear the person at the other end half the time. Then I tried Packet8 and it worked perfectly. I've had my Packet8 plugged in for months and never had to reboot it even once. The Vonage always froze up - sometimes in the middle of a call. Needless to say, I sent it back. Not recommended at all. Packet8 works much better with quality thats even better than my regular phone line.
