So, people will be dissapointed when they use Vonage with things like tivo and alarm systems because high speed data calls won't work over Voip. And when power or net goes out, Voip is dead, POTS is still alive.
I've had DTivo and a 540 Tivo for years now. No problems. Also a Dish 508, no problems either. But yes I understand others have had issues.
As for power outages, I have a UPS so if the ISP isn't effected by the outage I can make some short calls (until the batter depletes, that is).
And one nice thing is that here even a disconnected service phone can call 911, but I would certainly recommend at least a cheap cell phone plan. I have had one but it is apparently either going out of business or changing their pricing structure with a corporate name change.
But the one thing that doesn't work so well is Vonage with Netzero dialup, not that I use it very often. Less than 30k and usually much worse. Why would I use it at all for dialup? There have been times when Vonage was working but I'd lose internet connectivity, but that's discussed in another thread. ;)
As for faxing I've never had trouble faxing to eFax or anybody. My only issues have been software related because for some goofy reason when I call Tampa from St. Petersburg, FL I have to dial the area code WITHOUT dialing "1" and even though the fax software gives me that option it still adds the "1" in. So I have to trick it into working. :)
I have no comment at all on alarms because I didn't renew my contract and back then I had a landline.
Read The Full Thread: Tivo offered me a free adapter to stay with them
• my husband bought me a tivo for christmas without realizing that it may not work
• I wish I knew that sooner. I had the Same problem. It took a day or two to get me Tivo
• I suggest tivo be connected to the net. Vonage will work with regular directv and
• I'd tend to disagree with that...and if the Voip players (Vonage, .....) what
• The voice codec bitrate has nothing to do with how much data can travel through
• Whom did you call? I dont think this will work for me, because I have the directv
• While this is true, it's not entirely accurate. The problem with data trasmission
