Thanks RBO. Do you use their internet also?

I am basically looking for an unlimited or 200G limit kind of plan, which will allow me Netflix...

No, I am using right now "Robers" for high speed internet, but thinking to change with Freephoneline company after finished my contract with Rogers .

I think they have unlimited access for internet, check with website......

Can any one provide update if the vonage or freephoneline consumes data usage?

Thanks

It is difficult to get data usage info as it depends upon which codec is being used , how long call lasts etc etc. you have to worry only if you are going to use your home phone as call center otherwise usage is not much.

I am thinking about subscribing to Vonage and get away from my existing landline connection. However, I have a home alarm and heard(mostly from internet forums) that the alarms are not compatible with the VOIP phones. Is it true? Is anyone here using home alarm with voip phone? If not and I have to take a basic landline just for the alarm then the whole purpose of voip phone in terms of pricing/cost dies for the people who have home alarm installed in their houses.

Anyone?

i m also interested to know about compatibility of VOIP phones with home alarm...
will really appreciate ur response....

Does anyone know about this, and using this combination (voip+home alarm) effectively and successfully?

I have a same problem.I switched to vonage last year.I called ADT and they said vonage is not compatable.One option is to go for wireless monitoring.(Instead of home phone they will use ur cell phone).But its about $10 extra per month.So, for now, I have a rogers basic phone line for ADT purpose.

If someone has an alternate to this, would be great!

Did you try raising a false alarm while connecting your alarm line to Vonage? If not, you can give it a try to see if ADT's call comes through your vonage phone.

My dilemma is this. I need Vonage to save on my long-distance bills, just like everyone else. However, if I will have to pay my alarm company extra for wireless or a basic phone line then the end result is the same. My purpose to go to Vonage nullifies.

Would love to hear more on this if someone else is in the same boat.
