Shaw's QoS package is not worth it, and isn't forced on customers who use VoIP. Out in Victoria, webcall (www.webcall.ca) works fantastic with Shaw's 5.0Mbit package. No dropped calls, no delays, no stutter, no problems. Hell, I even started downloading drivers for my radeon at over 100KB/s and my call went along as if it were a real phone line. I don't think Vonage has a leg to stand on.
I have the same burner, and it is loud. It shakes my desk pretty good when it gets going. I find it to be a nuscience and wish Yamaha would come up with some firmware that you could adjust the read speed to something a little lower.

As a burner though, it is nice.
