[nflug] Sun rocket voip

[Roelant Ossewaarde]

I have just moved. I'm doing OK with Skype (skypeIN and SkypeOUT with  
a separate headset), but I'm wondering how it compares to say, Vonage  
or the other mentioned providers.

Obviously, Skype is cheaper than its competitors (I call a lot  
internationally, and to other Skype subscribers). But is anyone here  
in a position to compare the quality of the calls? Is Vonage et.al.  
so much different from Skype?

Thanks,

Roelant.
