Because those of us who are VoIP evangelists finally got the message
out. I've made a half dozen referrals to Vonage in my office and
that's in the last couple of months.
When people are paying $45 for basic local loop and find out I'm
paying $27 (That includes the damned tax!) and getting unlimited
local/ld, plus CLID, three way, call-waiting and voice mail they tend
to start looking at Verizon as a bad company. Granted, Verizon is a
bad company and I'll do anything I can to drive the last nail into
their tariff ridden coffin.

In my case it was $88 a month to Verizon vs. $27 a month to
Vonage. Big difference. It's the only thing that hasn't inflated in
the last year or two.
