They offered a $240 rebate when I bought a computer and switched to vonage, then refused to pay the promised rebate by claiming my mac id number had already been used for a rebate. They are not a member of the BBB and you have no recourse, then the customer service people don't speak english and just blow you off with service problems, and they charge you $40 if you leave within a year. Vonage sucks big time.. do not trust anything Vongage says.

The whole issue is the courts, but many say that Vonage looks doomed. It may be worth brushing up on Google News on it.

If you want service through them you should probably do it pretty quick. Vonage might be legally stopped from signing up new customers soon.

I'm stuck paying $50/mon. for Charter's filtered "internet service" with no other alternative. My city let the last cable-ISP available get gobbled up by the Charter juggernaut and my apartment complex never installed switching blocks for the TelCo. Joy.
