Ok... any of you guys using VOIP for some or all of your business phone
lines?

Who do you think is good?

Time Warner is finally getting their act together locally and providing a
fair service, but they cost about the same as the local copper line
provider. No real benefit there. 94% reliable vs 98% reliable for the same
price. No benefit there.

I have a pretty good broadband connection so a third party VOIP provider may
be considered also.

Did they port over your existing numbers or did you have to take what they
gave?

So far 8x8 is looking like one of the better providers. About $30 per line
including taxes, fees, number portability. $55 per line for adaptors to
analog. Or you can get into their IP phones on a per seat basis. Included
features list is pretty impressive. I think I am going to kiss my copper
line provider goodbye.

Sure beats $50+ from the cable co or the copper line guys.

Just remember internet goes down so do all the phones if your lines
are crtical keep one or 2analog or have a back up voip provider like
many of my customers have done.

Only copper line I have now is my home phone. Obviously I have cell phones,
and my business lines just go to them or my e-fax service now. I'm thinking
auto attendant service (included) will help weed out a lot of the junk and
computerized calls that waste my time now.
