Is Comcast actually VoIP or digital phone service. My understanding accoding the *Cox* digital phone offering is that there IS a difference. Cox has digital phone service which is regulated to abide by the same standards set by the FCC for standard phone carriers, whereas VoIP offerings are not. Also, my understanding is that VoIP is routed via the same mechanisms that route your internet, whereas the digital phone service uses the lines with a different infrastructure for routing of digital phone.
