Joyce,
 Since you have Verizon, why not go with their DSL
service? 
I had my Verizon phone service removed and DSL
only installed.
My cost monthly is$ 30.00 and has been very
reliable.
I use Vonage for phone service at $34.00 mo.
The only problem with Vonage is ocassional loss of
service
Which is easily corrected. Vonage automatically
goes to
Voice mail if service is down and sends an Email
with voice attachment
 to let you know who called.
As an aside I use Dish tv and so far haven't lost
signal in the worst weather, which is more than I
can say about Directv.

Subject: [PCBUILD] Satellite and VOIP

At this point in time, I am seriously considering
installing a satellite 
uplink.  My maximum dial-up speed is just too
darned slow for today's 
sites, and there won't be another way to connect
to high-speed "out 
here" in the rusty hills of Ohio for many more
years, if ever in my 
lifetime.   Moving is not an option.

My question is, will a VOIP service (such as
Vonage or Magic Jack) work 
with a satellite connection?  I'm getting  ____
sick and tired of 
Verizon, and I think I'd save money over their,
uh, "service" if it's 
possible to do this...  Thanks in advance for any
and all input
