I’ve been looking into it for my new house. I’d like to see what current owners think of it too.

i did. my thoughts :mullet:

- the free fax line is worthless it’s totally unreliable

- if you’re running more than 2 phones off of a line (at the same time) it gets a delay and will need to be rebooted constantly.

- customer service is lousy

- the price is unbeatable, especially if you talk long distance

- when set up properly you’d never know it wasn’t a hard line.

My sister uses it for her house phone. She uses it off of my internet though so I set everything up for her. The only time she has complained about it sounding bad is when I was going full throttle on my internet connection. The way it’s setup (wireless network connecting our houses) it has 4 network hops before it even hits the internet and performance is still nice. I hear Comcast has something similar that works on their network but I am not familiar with it at all.
