I'm enjoying the savings from dropping my AT&T land line. To the folks having OOMA stability issues take a look at my blog post on OOMA and DNS changing your ISP DNS may solve a host of problems - NOT putting OOMA in front of your router (in spite of what OOMA recommends) may solve a spate of other problems - I have a couple of blog posts on this as well.

Ooma is a Private company, and does not release too many figures to the public, nor do they HAVE to. Where do I come from? I AM an ooma user also, and I have done many hours of research on the Internet looking at all aspects of ooma both before and after I purchased the system. There are NO FACTS anywhere to support Dave's assertion here that Ooma is not run well. The MOST anyone will find is assumption on the part of many people and in the end it comes down to fantasy and speculation at to the viability of the company and their business model. I repeat, NO hard facts. Period. I wonder how Dave knows that Ooma is not run competently? Ooma is a Private company, and does not release too many figures to the public, nor do they HAVE to.

That is, more bandwidth is allocated to the voice connection, and less is provided for surfing. In any event, I have a tendency to leave the house with a dozen tabs open in a Firefox browser, and probably shouldn't do that. What I really need to do is call ooma Support and see if they have any ideas. It's one wrinkle - albeit a significant one - in an experience that otherwise has been pretty good. As for fax, I'm not 100% sure, but I believe you can use a fax machine with it.
