I like this idea: http://www.primus.ca/en/residential...band/index.html

A phone number that travels with you, as long as there’s access to High Speed Internet service†. For example, if you travel from Toronto to Montreal or Hong Kong, you can take your service with you, plug into High Speed Internet there, and make calls as if you were still in Toronto (i.e. people could still reach you at your 416 # or you can call their 416 # and neither party would be charged long distance).

Anyone tried it yet? |

There is still no local number portability in Canada so this is how I suspect this is going to work:
get a fido phone and new number (if not a fido subscriber)
get free local calls 24/7
----------
IMO this is nothing more than a regular fido plan with unlimited local. Non fido customers will have to get new phone #s. |

That is simple VOIP.
Vonage also has a product in Canada to compete. |

Yah I know it's VoIP.
I also tried it out this morning with a coworker from the states .. clear reception, no lag, worked beautifully.
Vonage eh? ..nice .competition is good. |

Only problem w/ the VoIP setups that both primus and vonage have is that they give priority to the voice stream over the data stream.
It eats into your data upstream/downstream caps.
But then again any VOD w/ digital cable does the same... |
