Hi,
We currently have cablemodem service (Cox) with decent speeds (5Mbps down/512Kbps up), and I'm looking into signing up with a VOIP service because one of my sons uses a lot of long-distance (we're in VA). We have cellular phones with decent/unlimited long-distance, but my home just happens to be in a pretty bad spot signal-wise, and thus thinking about VOIP. We'll keep the landline (Verizon), and he (son) will use the VOIP for long-distance mainly.
We currently have an older Netgear NAT router (an FR114 or RP114 or something like that), with a bunch of machines scattered throughout the house. I also have an old Lucent wireless AP running off of the router.
Anyway, that's the current network we have.
So, I've been looking around, and it seems like Sunrocket has a pretty good deal, with the TA and two Uniden cordless phones for about $25/month. Since this would be our 1st venture into VOIP, I want to minimize the risk, i.e., cancel if "things go down the tube" service-wise :)...
I've been doing some research, and I noticed that Sunrocket had some problems in about mid-September, but it seems like generally they're service is pretty ok, so I'm looking for some feedback before we "pull the trigger".
Also, I'm curious about one other thing besides the service. The Uniden phones they're providing as part of the deal looks like the same ones we have now (got from Costco). Will we have any problems running the phones from Sunrocket with our current handsets (which I want to continue to use on the landline)?
Thanks, Jim
