The last two years have seen phenomenal growth in the uptake of voice-over-IP subscribers and you can’t believe it was only a few years ago voice-over-IP was a play thing for only Internet nerds. Clearly voice-over-IP technology is advancing and Vonage is the obvious market leader not only in the market share but in advancing this technology as well.
Again voice-over-IP is the technology used to transmit voice conversations over a data network i.e. Internet or a corporate Intranet using the Internet Protocol. New gateways and VOIP-based CO switches are more modular, enabling service providers to add features - like interactive voice response (IVR), database support for pre-paid calling cards, support for Signaling System 7 (SS7) and redundancy at all levels. On voice quality even though virtually all voice-over-lP products use the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) and the Real-Time Protocol (RTP), over IP. This means that voice-containing packets that are lost aren't retransmitted, whereas most IP "data" packets use the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), which detects and arranges for retransmission of lost packets. Different service providers are using various algorithms and protocols used for voice-over-IP react differently to delays and dropped packets.
Check out the different packages with service providers and I am sure you would not regret snapping the Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) of your wall.

Has Vonage been able to over come its E911 problem?
