That's the difference for me... I don't have a cell phone.  I have a hardwired landline in the house the old fashioned way.  One phone number and an answering machine.

CCM:
Is it a rotary phone?  Or is it one of those new-fangled touch-tone phones?

DrumAnBass:
I have used Packet8 for a while now; it is ok, but never really been thrilled with it. As soon as I start doing some serious downloading of any kind it becomes unusable (Time Warner RoadRunner cable). Tried to set priority to the Packet8 box in my router but still can't handle downloading and calls. Luckily I kept my regular analog phone line and use VOIP primarily for outgoing international calls.

I suspect the Linksys hardware Vonage offers might be better than the little crappy adaptor that Packet8 gave me.

Ironically I was actually thinking of switching to SunRocket last month when they offered the "buy one year get another free" deals....

ChadTower:
The buttons even light up so I can see when the power goes out!

Cordless phones are useless when the power goes out, which makes it useless for calling the power company to tell them the power is out.

Then there is definitely the bandwidth issue.  I work from home fairly often over VPN... I suspect the connection may not be enough for both VPN traffic and VOIP.

You're afraid of loss of communication in an emergency, but don't have a cell phone?
What do you do when you have an emergency on the road, run home and call from the land line?  :dunno
