HOLD ON THERE BABALOUIE!!! (My best Quickdraw McGraw impression)
When Vonage came out there were a lot of problems with alarm system transmissions having the data packets screwed up by the different versions of the software being used.
Is Magic Jack different? Or have the problems been overcome and is VOIP now a reliable alternative to a regular POTS line?

Magicjack uses very little bandwidth. This was confirmed by my friend in Canada.
Vonage basically charges way too much for their service, if you consider what their method of transmission is. $24.99 per line gets steep quick. If Vonage would drop additional lines to lets say $9.95, then they stand a chance of staying in business. Otherwise they will lose customers by the thousands to Magicjack and other companies that offer similar services.

Magicjack needs to come up with a Vonage style router if it plans to gain a huge foothold in this market.
