The first company to my door that can provide broadband multi-media service (TV, local and LD phone, and broadband internet) at a reasonable price will get my business forever.
Being able to bundle my cell phone would be a hugh plus. Seriesly.
I was interested in getting a wireless card for my laptop because I'm part of a crew that will lead people on a motorcycle tour in the southwest this Februrary. I noticed that all the major cariers have a policy that clearly states you can not use VOIP or any kind of internet phone services while using these laptop cards.
What are they afraid of?
Cisco and Avaya, the devil you know or the devil you don't.
All in all, I am less than impressed by most of the VOIP offerings.
Avayas VOIP switches seem, well, crude.
On the other hand, Ciscos do everything but wind your watch. That being said, they also rely on PC based servers, which I am not convinced offer the same reliability I am used to (99.999% up time).
I feel like I am swimming against the tide here.
I would love to take advantage of the services and features offered by VOIP but as far as I am concerned, it just isn't ready for prime time.
Just my 2 cents worth.
