Vonage continues to look more and more impressive with each passing day. The latest idea that they are passing on to people is offering them a wireless-g broadband router bundled with Vonage phone service.

Sounds like a good deal to me, it shows that Vonage is going to do what it takes to make switching so attractive that users would be nuts not to. On the flip side however, there are still reliability issues. Have these been addressed, if not, then when will they be?

Vonage Holdings Corp., the leading broadband phone company and Linksys, a division of Cisco Systems, Inc., today announced the availability of the Wireless-G Broadband Router with 2 phone ports (WRT54GP2) bundled with Vonage’s service. The Wireless-G Router will be available at over 7,000 retail locations nationwide and through select e-tail partners.

This Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router is four devices in one box. It includes a Wireless-G Access Point; a built-in 4-port switch to connect wired- Ethernet devices; a router function so the entire network can securely share a single cable or DSL Internet connection and two standard telephone jacks, allowing for multiple phone lines. Bundled with Vonage Internet telephony service, customers get a complete solution in one box — the hardware and service they need to start talking.
“Recognizing the need for residents and small businesses to have myriad of options when setting up their networks, Vonage is excited to partner with Linksys to continue to lead the way in transforming how people communicate,” stated Jeffrey A. Citron, chairman and CEO of Vonage Holdings Corp. “More importantly, the Wireless-G Router bundled with Vonage’s service is the next step in modernizing an archaic telecommunications network. No longer will people be stuck in the past and tied down to communications systems that fail to offer true mobility.”
“By providing customers with both the hardware and service they need to make high-quality phone calls over their broadband connection, customers get a better overall value and user experience,” said Mike Wagner, Linksys director of worldwide marketing. “Marketing the product and service together enables us to educate more customers about the benefits and cost savings VoIP can provide.”
