Comments on: Vonage cracks into market dominated by landlines

VoIP provider and Alarm.com co-market a home alarm system that doesn't depend on a traditional phone line.

Not always true

If this service is leveraging the internet to make it's connaction back to the central hub, then users of DSL are still vulnerable to a phone line cut. Likewise cable broadband users will be vulnerable to a cable cut.

No problems here

My home alarm systems works just fine over Vonage.

How does it work?

How did you get your home alarm to work with Vonage? Did you connect Vonage into your home wiring, disconnecting from the local exchange?

Alarm.com is too expensive. They want $35/mo for monitoring, 1 yr minimum, $200 setup. They whole idea of Vonage is saving money, these guys are a joke.
