vonage and others are 30-40$ for their unlimited LD, and you have to buy the box still. As well, if your DSL is out, then your phone is out.
Vonage is $29.99 a month for unlimited local/LD/Canada. Bestbuy sells the box for $30 with FREE activation and FREE 3 months service.
I love the arguement about what will happen when your DSL goes down, but the same will happen when your PSTN line goes down. My cable internet has been down for 2 hours in the past 16 months.
The thing about normal PSTN unlimited plans is the $10 in fees they smack on. at $29.95 + $1.50 a month Vonage is IMHO still the cheapest.
