Beware of ATT- Yahoo DSL
I had recently signed up for ATT-Yahoo DSL. They had promised me a risk-free 30 day trial. About 2 days after I got the kit I found out I had to go visit my mom as she was having heart surgery. I called them up telling them I was going to be gone for a month and I just wanted to cancel. Apparently the customer rep, Cookie that I was talking to convinced me not to cancel and that she’d give me another 90 days to try out the service. I bought it.
After I came back, with the work-load of a new job and a ton of investments I decided I couldn’t be bothered installing the DSL stuff and called them up to cancel. I was told that the 30 day period had passed and I was out of luck. Apparently Cookie didn’t have the authority to make those kind of decisions [so basically I'm just a liar], and they billed me for the 2 months and a $99 cancellation fee. Basically I stuck with a bill for $136 for a service I never used or installed.
ATT-Yahoo DSL sucks!
My phone bill is usually around $1500-$1800 per year. I’m thinking of just cancelling my ATT account[or SBC whatever they are now] and going fully VOIP. I’ve already explained a cheaper alternative to even Vonage, might as well implement it.

You might as well go all the way with the VOIP. SkypeOut is free for the rest of the year. You’d just have to buy a SkypeIn number for 30 Euros a year.
I’m not sure if you can set it as well as Vonage or your other solution.
