Hi,

We currently have cablemodem service (Cox) with decent speeds (5Mbps
down/512Kbps up), and I'm looking into signing up with a VOIP service
because one of my sons uses a lot of long-distance (we're in VA). We
have cellular phones with decent/unlimited long-distance, but my home
just happens to be in a pretty bad spot signal-wise, and thus thinking
about VOIP. We'll keep the landline (Verizon), and he (son) will use
the VOIP for long-distance mainly.

We currently have an older Netgear NAT router (an FR114 or RP114 or
something like that), with a bunch of machines scattered throughout the
house. I also have an old Lucent wireless AP running off of the router.

Anyway, that's the current network we have.

So, I've been looking around, and it seems like Sunrocket has a pretty
good deal, with the TA and two Uniden cordless phones for about
$25/month. Since this would be our 1st venture into VOIP, I want to
minimize the risk, i.e., cancel if "things go down the tube"
service-wise :)...

I've been doing some research, and I noticed that Sunrocket had some
problems in about mid-September, but it seems like generally they're
service is pretty ok, so I'm looking for some feedback before we "pull
the trigger".

Also, I'm curious about one other thing besides the service. The Uniden
phones they're providing as part of the deal looks like the same ones we
have now (got from Costco). Will we have any problems running the
phones from Sunrocket with our current handsets (which I want to
continue to use on the landline)?

Thanks,
Jim

nothing specific on the phones themselves, but on the voxilla site
mentioned in the review post is a great comparison tool for VoIP
services, nearly every service I've heard of..

I've had Sunrocket (SR) for a few months. Before I was aware that many of
the busy signals I was getting were SR caused, I really was pleased with
their service. An example of problem - if I call my wife at here workplace
the call should always go thru, either to her or to her voice mail. When I
use my SR phone, often the I get a busy signal. Notice the problem most
often late in afternoon and into early evening.
