Vonage is the shiznit...
Well, it's MOSTLY the shiznit...
Switched to Vonage about a month ago, after finally getting fed up with Sprint's rates & extremely poor customer service. The final straw was a three day period where we had NO phone service, but perfect cablemodem/internet.
To combat power outages (and assuming they're local & not completely regional), simply hook your cable modem & vonage router up to a Uninterruptable Power Supply. If you get a decent UPS, you should have enough juice to get through most outages. This assumes, by the way, that your cable provider doesn't get shut down by the outage as well.
Also, it's kinda cool how you can unhook your TNI from the outside service & connect your vonage router to an inside phone line. This allows you to use all of your regular phones/outlets!
We've had a couple of glitches/lost calls during the past month...but nothing more troubling than the cell service in the area. All in all, a very good experience!
