Recent technology using the TV co axial cable for voice transmission has opened up a niche in the communication field. By enabling users to take advantage of their existing broadband connection to make and receive cheap phone calls, VOIP has become a real money saver for both residential and business customers alike.

Vonage is the most known of the broadband providers in the voip telephony market. With their massive and effective marketing blitz, many consumers mistakenly believe that Vonage is the only residential VOIP provider.
