I have been using Vonage as my home phone
www.vonage.com.
I believe they are one of the major providers offering home phone service for people with broadband. they were profiled in Fortune magazine a few months back
Big plus:
at 24.99/month unlimited local and long distance calling within US
fairly cheap international rates, depends where you are calling overseas
some drawbacks
sometimes the voice quality does deteriorate . does not work well with some prepaid calling cards.
we dont care as we really dont use our home phones much
they are good with Local number portability. We got to keep our Verizon phone number after bugging verizon for several weeks. some phone companies delay transferring your current number to Vonage
If service is indeed offered in your area, there is a referral award both to the new customer as well as the person that referred.
hope this helps
