Hello, Peter.

I go through my cable television provider, Charter Communications. The phone
is just a standard, run-of-the-mill phone you can pick up at any store. All of
the phones are plugged into a special telephony modem that is legally
registered with our local 911 service. The modem cannot be moved as it is
registered to this address (meaning if we decide to move, we tell the landlord
to leave it there).
The telephony modem has E911 (enhanced 911) that tells 911 that we're going
through a VoIP system and what our true home address is.
Except for the fact that I cannot use an analog modem through the service, I'm
quite happy with it. I have free long distance to the entire United States and
Canada, as well as free caller ID, voicemail and call waiting.
My telephone, television (over 200 chanels) and Internet (4MB/256K) is a total
of $105 a month (not including taxes!). My wife an I are rather pleased with
it.
Later,
Sean
