yeah with Vonage... I ended up switching back.. we went through a couple days where AT&T here (digital cable) went out and was without phone service for the duration. Really sucked.. nothing really to do with Vonage per se but nevertheless, the reliability factor and also the fact that if you lose power and not have a UPS, you're screwed too..

I just switched to Vonage 2 weeks ago. You have a PM

i was going to use internet phone service, but ADT wanted a land line, plus I felt more secure that way. My alarm has a built in UPS too.

You won't regret it, I don't.

I have Vonage on the lines we use to call out. Our main home # is still Verizon tho. Saves me about $50 a month for the 2 Vonage lines. Quality is about cell phone good.
