[QUOTE="PGB1, post: 1779347, member: 76746"] Thanks Dennis for your helpful comments. I rechecked with the ISP today, but this time asked for the "Disconnect My Services" department. I got much better results than I've ever received. It was a treat to speak with someone knowledgeable. That person said it is no problem to use my own router and modem as long as I get one from their approved device list, which has many choices. You can't have their phone service without renting their modem, however. She also was honest enough to mention that Ooma & some others are much less expensive than their telephone service with the same features. (Their basic phone is $19.70 per month.) So, roughly calculating the cost of the ISP's rental & the phone service [I]versus[/I] buying equipment to have Ooma and my own router & modem, plus Ooma's monthly tax for our state, I think about ten or 1 months will be my pay-back period. Now if I can figure out the best way to ditch cable tv for a streaming service, I'll be a happy guy. (Next Project!) Thanks Again! Paul [/QUOTE]
