New Jersey is a place that is pretty free of natural disasters. No earthquake will come and knock out your service

But server crash and other things will. Power failures at your house, internet outage.

Vonage for the most part is pretty secure. I have had Vonage for over 1 year and have only had 1 Vonage outage, and that was for about 24 hrs.

BLUF: Vonage has been more reliable than POTS, even including ISP outages, in my experience.

Vonage (the service itself) has had some outages in my >4 years using them. I don't recall any over a day and probably less than ~48 hours in total.

I've also lost Vonage service through no fault of Vonage - due to ISP outages. That depends on the quality of your ISP.

All in all, though, I had more outages (both in terms of frequency and duration in aggregrate) with a POTS Telco (SWB) in <2 years than with Vonage (including outages due to ISP problems) in >4 years.
