I'm on TWC in Moultonborough and use Vonage for both business and home phone lines. It is great! Cheaper than Fairpoint or TWC's digital phone service, and provides many more features. The quality and reliability is good enough for "work at home" business use, even for very demanding clients. There is one fixable problem though. If anyone on your network is uploading heavy traffic while a call is active, such as posting pictures on Picasa, you will get poor voice quality. This can be corrected (as in 'totally fixed') with a Hawking Technology HBB1 Broadband booster. Cost is about $50. It sits in-line between your cable modem and internal router. It ensures that streaming connections (such as vonage) gets the bandwidth it requires.
