IP, has exploded in the last couple of years.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Cable companies that offer broadband, TV

Vonage.</FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT size=4>In a nutshell, Voice
over IP means using your broadband Internet connection to make voice calls.<SPAN

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT size=4>At its base the

telecommunications network so nearly anything is possible.</FONT></P>

size=4> <o:p></o:p></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT size=4>Basically it
consists of sending voice communications in data packets, like downloading a

back to the old ARPANET, the military/university backbone that gave birth to the
Internet.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It uses real time
protocols to ensure timely delivery and often can’t be distinguished from
standard telephone connections.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>In

halfway on the switched telephone network.</FONT></P>

a monthly service charge, work independently of your computer and allow you to

my opinion if you want to have something similar to standard phone service go
