I can honestly tell you, the clarity is the exact same as my old phone line, and their service has been superb. I've only had to call them once - the initial box they sent me was defective - but they are available 24/7. They sent me a new box at no charge and a return label for the old one.

I have had exactly one "problem," and that was when my router was on the fritz... not their fault. Bought a new router, and everything worked like a champ again. Conversly, after Hurricane Frances, I was the only one in the neighborhood with phone service for 4 days, because cable was restored faster than the phone lines.

Unfortunately, I was at the mercy of my cable provider - went through a period of days where cable was out the majority of the time. I know it would be an awesome deal if I could count on my broadband service (cancelled after two months).
