Nerds? Show of hands?

I've used it before. The quality of the call really depends on your connection. I'd say if you're running DSL or slower don't even bother. It will work with DSL but you get a lot of intermittent connections and dropped calls if you're doing something else on your connection while you're on the phone.

I've used it a little in the past with mixed results.
I never could get Vonage to work with my home network for any length of time. just lots of crazy problems that their tech support never could help me fix. finally just cancelled it. but I do hope it works for other people. the big telcos need the competition.

Have an account....have never used the service though. This could make things a bit more interesting though.
