Probably call quality. Anecdotal evidence ahoy! One of my field techs, who has our wireless service at his home, tried Vonage for a few months, but the call quality was lousy. He later switched to Packet 8 and has been quite happy with it. We've also discovered that some brands work better when they're "exposed" (i.e. with a public IP address), and some are better behind a NATting router. Packet 8, for instance, seemed to work infinitely better behind a router than when the device had a public IP. The Vonage appliance, as I recall, was just the opposite. As I recall, Packet 8 was five bucks a month cheaper than Vonage too, but didn't have quite as good a selection of local numbers. (This is all second-hand -- I just use my cell phone for most things and a Skype account for the rare international call.)
