VOIP vendor Packet8 seems to be a favorite
I am just starting to research home VOIP systems. There is a good thread here lauding the virtues of Packet8. broadband » Forums » Voice over IP » 1st Day -Packet8. They seem to be the low price leader and the crowd favorite. In fact, our own Mark Price sent me a mail saying he uses them and is very happy.
I read a review in a magazing that looked at Packet8 and Vonage (I can't find it on-line) and the reviewer gave Vonage the nod for market leadership and features. Although it is higher price per month. I bet is really a packaging thing. Also I understand that Vonage uses SIP and that Packet8 uses a codec developed by parent 8x8. Although Packet8 does sell a SIP video phone.
What I want right now is just a dongle that I put in between my existing phone system and the broadband switch that lets me switch VOIP providers on the fly. I see a heavy price war a coming on the carrier side. I e-mailed the guys at SIPURA and asked when their open dongle would be available. They replied November. So I am going to probably wait till after Christmas to buy into the deal at home. There will be many more options then.

I think all the other who claimed for $20 discount only give you $5 discount.
