I can't tell a difference between using this and a regular phone line. It's more than worth the $14.99 mothly cost (I'm only using the 500 minute plan) as opposed to my $60 month costs I had with my last phone company.

Bunch of added features. As for lag, it is extremely dependent on your broadband connection. Had Vonage, moved to Voicepulse… Bunch of added features.

Right now it is comparable to land line quality except for two things: occasionally "ghosting" of my voice (much less than a year ago; and recently occasional 10 second drop outs where the other end can hear me, but I can't hear them. I'd love to hear if you experience this as well. I've used Vonage for a year and a half and the quality gets better and better.

Phone switches and the related infrastructure are designed specificaly to avoid it. Computer data switches and related infrastructure is not. It's not that big a deal if it takes .75 seconds longer for packets to reach your computer, but think of what how disjointed a conversation would be. If I recall one of the big issues is lag.
