Voip Comparison

If I switch from Comcast VOIP to Vonage will I still be able to use multiple phones?

I am thinking of switching from Comcast VOIP to Vonage. Curretnly with Comcast I am able to plug a phone into any phone jack in my house to get sevice. If I switch to Vonage will I be able to do the same thing, without making any adjustments to houses main phone line?

1. no...! you get one base-phone with build in router/firewall, and you can buy several extension phone later on....all you need is just an electrical outlet for them!!! unless you to the whole house wiring, which really sucks...but I send to the schematics..if you want them....
2. If you already have the wiring set up to route the Comcast phone connection to several phones, the same wiring should work for Vonage. BUT!!! You should know that Comcast Digital Voice and Vonage are NOT the same type of service. Digital voice services offered by cable companies like Comcast and Optimum Voice use a separate, dedicated digital channel to carry your voice data. They do NOT use VoIP technology like Vonage. VoIP is not always very reliable, as the individual voice data packets get routed over the internet the same as all of your other internet traffic. And, as anyone who has ever tried listening to streaming audio knows, this process is not always perfect. Voice packets go lost, or get routed to a slower route and so arrive out of sequence. In the evening, when all of your neighbors are surfing the web, your IP traffic will slow down significantly, so your VoIP will get worse. Digital voice from the cable company does not generally suffer from these problems.
