I've been using Vonage for about a year and have noticed a few things. The amounts that lars mentioned are the same that I have been paying. There customer service has been relatively good. The quality of service is good. I have noticed a few echos now and then but outside of that no one has had any complaints.
With that said I do have one thing that I think needs to be said about the quality of service. This is nothing against Vonage, but is something that you need to take into account if you are planning to use any VOIP service. I had problems with keeping and sometimes getting a dial tone when I first got Vonage installed. After a month of thinking it was the phone service I found the problem. My kids and wifes computer computer. Their computers ran windows XP with virus and spyware protection programs. Even with those programs filtering viruses and spyware, I was still getting spyware on my computer. So I fixed the problem. I installed Linux on all of the computers in my home. I now no longer have any problems. Now, not only does my phone service work better but no one has had problems with their computers. Out side of the odd game here and there that I have not yet got running. >From my Experience, VOIP + Windows = bad, VOIP + Linux = great! I'm sure if I wanted to put enough money and usage restrictions into the Windows solution that I could have gotten it to work, but why.
