Tom, that is pretty cool and unlimited cell service would be interesting. I almost see a day coming when mobile phones will achieve speeds of cable perhaps and everyone will have their own computer tethered to the phone and well copper will slowly be replaced. Okay, I'm being a little nuts here, but truth is I'm just looking to reduce my cost as much as possible. I am working toward perhaps dropping the landline and only using the computer, but just want to see how this whole VOIP thing works out.
