[OT] Vonage vs. Cox

[Gene Holmerud]

OK, I'm learning something.  What's in the box and what connects the box  
to their network?  The digitizing to VoIP could be done there.  Do you  
have Cox internet service as well?

Any Cox backbone I've seen is fiber or coax.  Before your "voice" is  
carried on either, it's going to be digitized.
