My mom is moving to a new place (Falls Church, VA) and she wants to get Vonage as her phone line (its free to call to Peru and that's the only place she calls, being peruvian and all). Anyways, where she used to live she got Comcast, but they don't have jurisdiction in Falls Church and she has the following choices: -Cox -Verizon Fios Which will work with Vonage, and if both do, which is the best (rate both Internet and TV)?

both will work with vonage... the problem is that net-neutrality has failed in the courts, so internet providers CAN block services and ports if they choose... i have not yet heard any issues with companies blocking VoIP traffic, but this is a possibility unless the FCC & courts prevent something like this from happening... FiOS will want a 2 year contract... the pricing for cable vs FiOS is very similar... unless DOCISS 3.0 is available in your area from cox (highly unlikely that it is available) then FiOS will be able to offer a faster speed internet than cable... the extra speed is not needed for vonage, since vonage could even work with DSL.. but if you plan on using the internet to stream high def movies, or other bandwidth intense programs (such as online gaming) then the extra speed would come in handy..
