DO NOT GET MAGIC JACK!!! That fucking thing sucks! I had one and I tried 3 different cordless phones and I couldn't get it to work right! I had to reboot it all the time. Besides,Skype is cooler because you can use it with any computer/internet device with a mike and speaker. Including a PSP,Mio and actually,I believe you can use it with WiFi capable smart phones.

Anyway, I'm paying $600/month for a T1 line to my house because it was the only way to get reliable, low-latency broadband, so all y'all can just bite me

Ummm...satellite?

Too late. I got it for my parents as a Christmas gift. This will be my first and only year of service. It took us a couple phones too, and even then the signal blows and you can't always make calls.
