Sad goodbye

[MarkTomlinson]

I had the Triple Play and eventually dropped Comcast as a phone provider and switched to VOIPo. Most of my reasoning was the call blocking. I could only block twelve numbers at a time with Comcast, wild-cards were not allowed, they wouldn't allow me to block solicitors for political parties because of their interpretation of Do-Not-Call rules, and I couldn't send "disconnected" tones. When I discovered VOIPo allowed all that at 1/4 the price, I jumped on it.

The irony is that I was unsure if I wanted a pure VoIP service until Comcast raised my Internet bandwidth to 20mb. Improvements in their Internet service was the catalyst for dropping their phone service!

Since the cash outlay for VOIPo is already spent, you might want to hang onto it until you are sure Comcast gives you all you want. Of course, that may be difficult if you are porting your number.
