Here is a real VoIP supporter.
Almost two years ago, my wife and I purchased a home in beautiful, sunny northeast Ohio. Prior to the move, we’d been dealing with Alltel for our local phone service. It was costing us around fifty bucks a month for basic local features and a small clump of long distance. Of course, I’d used iChat and other VoIP software goodies over my Comcast broadband connection, so I knew there was enough bandwidth for us to make the switch. We decided on Packet8 and scheduled the turn-up date for April 7, our move-in date. I hooked the ATA up to the house wiring and the rest is history. I haven’t been an Alltel customer since. But it seems I’m not the only one:
My wife and I are buying a house. It’s 28 years old and needs an extreme wiring makeover. But that’s another story.
So I want to get some feedback from you guys about my game plan for moving day. I have vonage right now and plan on having the cable modem hooked up and running the first day were there.
I’m going to set up a structured wiring scheme in the house. Everything will go to the utility room were the wires come into the house. I will have the cable modem, router, and phone adapter mounted in there…along with phone, data, and cable distribution.
