Vonage Reviews

Vonage Optimum Voice packets get priority over normal Optimum Online packets within

Optimum Voice packets get priority over normal Optimum Online packets within Cablevision's network.
But a crucial point is that Cablevision isn't doing anything to artificially limit the capability of a third-party's Voip traffic. Cablevision's Optimum Online data is given priority over ALL Optimum Online data. Which means that would only come into play if Cablevision's network was at max capacity, at which point the Optimum Online data would buffer temporarily in favor of Optimum Voice data. So Cablevision is throttling their entire cable modem service, not just competitors' Voip data, and doing so for reasons that make sense.
Optimum Voice calls do not traverse the Internet (outside of Cablevision's network).
From my perspective, there are more advantgages than disadvantages to that approach. Other "side effects" are also that your Voip has a dedicated data channel and dedicated bandwidth that doesn't impact or "steal" available bandwidth from your Internet connection. So no need for elaborate QoS, no need for jacking with your network topology, and no finger-pointing between your ISP and your Voip provider if you experience less-than-perfect performance. Plus of course, e911 and caller ID and everything else you expect from telephone service.

Also, I don't know why you say no softphones or virtual numbers outside your cable company's area of service. As for softphone, I know part of Comcast's long-term strategy involves SIP support so any hardware or software that supports it can connect to your ATA. And the area code thing...can you explain what would prevent Comcast or anyone else from providing those area codes? Skype can do it, Vonage can do it...obviously a physical presence in each area code isn't a requirement, so why do you say it's not possible for a cable company?

Anyway, I'm not one of those guys who only cares about the $24.95. I'm glad to pay a little more for those extras, and I'm looking forward to Comcast's service becoming available here.
