The key is to find a provider that provides a high quality end user web portal in addition to quality billing. Also I would recommend going with a provider that sells both business and residential service. ISPs are a good choice because they are not in danger of going out of business.</p> There are many providers (50+) out there besides the Sunrockets and Vonages of the world.

Only about 2-3 weeks ago, they were running a promotion of $99 for one year's service. I am thinking that just too many customers signed up and they ran out of devices. This must just be a temporary hiccup.</p> I am not quite so sure. Only about 2-3 weeks ago, they were running a promotion of $99 for one year’s service.
