VoIP from Ooma a winner but not with USI Wireless

Eight months ago I dropped my landline from Qwest and replaced it with Ooma VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) that I purchased from Costco.

My reception was spotty at first sight and too many callers said that my voice was cutting out. I determined that the problem was my Internet service provider, USI Wireless. USI is a great deal if you live in Minneapolis and don't need too much speed. Even when I upgraded to 6 Mbps, I however had complaints from callers who couldn't hear me. So I switched to Comcast's ISP service at 16 Mbps and my problems went away. Comcast charges me $30 a month, a 12 month special, and $52 a month afterwards that. That's about twice what I paid for USI, however the faster speed is worth it to me.

If you're considering Ooma, I suggest that you buy it only if you have a relatively fast Internet connection. If you're not technically proficent, you might need some help installing it. As well, anyone who signed up afterwards April 2010 but pays about $3.50 per month in connectivity charges.

I know there are many Magicjack fans, another VoIp system, now I have read mixed reviews. It requires the user's computer to be on to receive phone calls. The Ooma system does not.
