I think if Verizon took some time to understand the up to date technology, the great deals being offered to consumers, and the quality of the service that Vonage is offering. Then, Verizon could get some more innovative ideas to help their revenue increase. I think it would be a good idea if vonage and verizon merged and came up with a business strategy to increase the quality of there services for the consumers. In which will increase the revenue for both companies. Happy customers would lead to Happy companies. Instead of Verizon trying to take them down. Just doesn't look good to me. I have both services but if Vonage where to come up with a wireless service, I more than likely would leave verizon even though I have longevity with verizon. It really doesn't matter because I really am happy with my Vonage phone servies. I am military and I'm stationed overseas. Vonage made it possible for me to keep intouch with my family in the states everyday. And my friends all over the world. For that I am grateful. I am going to continue to use Vonage even when I return to the states because I am so pleased with their services.</p> I think that Vonage has a real good service going and Verizon needs to get up to date.

1. dial-up has never gotten beyond 26.4
2. Never had ISDN
3. Can’t get DSL
4. Not likely to see FiOS for several years.
5. dedicated lines are cost prohibitive.

Yet Verizon choses to continue to make it difficult to obtain alternative solutions.

It should be interesting to see them attempt to take on Comcast, Time-Warner, & SBC
