Who has used a VOIP (voice over Internet) phone service with Comcast and had it work well?

I tried Majic Jack Plus and Net Talk Duo when I had Comcast and they worked for a week and then both had problems getting or making calls.  I think Comcast has their modems rigged so that only their VOIP phone system works well with their modems.

So I'd love to hear from anyone who is using their own VOIP phone service with Comcast.

I have Basic Talk.  I use low speed Internet from Bright House.  Yeah, majicjack was crappy. 

 

My Basic Talk is only $10.00 a month.  I haven't had one bad phone call.  For work/business I use my Tracfone.    For other cell, I use cheap.  I like using the Tracfone for work/business because when it rings I know it's important.  So I have three phone numbers.

Mary Jo, I can't believe a phone that the device is only $10 would work good.

Could you plug a fax machine into the Basic Talk line and it would work?

I have Verizon cell, but I need to have at least a basic landline with a good speakerphone cordless to use on it.

And Comcast is good Internet but sure had trouble with these devices working with it.

How much does the Basic Talk device cost?

I tried out the StraightTalk $99 device that works on Verizon's cell tower, not bad, but still not the best call quality.

Mary Jo, what is the name, brand of the modem you are using with your Internet service?

Motorola, provided by Brighthouse.

Mary Jo, do you need a modem and a router for this or just the modem if it has a built-in router (i.e. built-in wireless)?  Because I watched a YouTube video on this that shows a modem and router.

And I have my Brighthouse modem.  I have my wireless router.   

 

The Basic Talk box is plugged into an empty space on my wireless router.  If you have an empty space in your modem I would imagine it would be plugged into that.  I have my box at the other house.  I will look this weekend and see if I find anything regarding a wireless router.
