Anyone used Earthlink's trueVoice VoIP service? They called with an offer today. I'm suspicious of VoIP, but I'm tired of paying $53 per month for DSL plus $100 for phones plus long distance, etc. They're offering $69 for 8mbps DSL plus phone line and unlimited local and US/Canada LD, $14 for additional line, and no extra taxes or charges, (they say). My worst fear is that it's usable but rinky-dink like Skype.

In September, my wife and I will be moving to a new apartment in downtown Manhattan. We're viewing the move as an opportunity to upgrade the technologies we use every day in the house. So my question(s) are: Should we go with Voice over IP for our home phone? If so, which is the better service, Vonage or AT&T CallVantage? Along the same lines, for our highspeed network, should we go with TimeWarner Roadrunner or keep our Verizon DSL service? Any thoughts?
