I use my local cable companies VOIP serivce. Sounds great, but puts a dent in bandwith. I'm glad I don't have Vonage after hearing this. One thing that I've noticed is that the number of telemarketing calls I've gotten in the past few months since the switch from regular land line to Voip. I've been getting 5 a day, before hand one a week if that. Any one know if when you have an un-listed number and then make the switch to VOIP does it become listed? Or is there some way that they can scan for peoples numbers because they are using VOIP. I mean some sort of port sniffing deal?

No, I just signed up with Bright House Networks in metro Detroit. They are a smaller company not really as large as some of the big boys.
