VoIP Tech Chat posted a new article discussing residential VoIP (and the savings you can get from switching). It’s an interesting read, especially the data with wireless only usage and some of the savings breakdown.

For a typical household, VoIP remains a very cost-effective telephone solution; although you must remember that without good (and we mean good), high-speed Internet, your VoIP will be unusable. Many local phone companies offer a “dial tone only” line for less than $15.00 monthly. With the use of VoIP and a dial-tone only landline, you can still save more than $150.00 yearly while providing your family a reliable method of calling during emergencies and power outages.

VoIP Tech Chat posted an interesting article regarding the expected increase of VoIP in the residential market. The article discusses the switch of residential users from such providers as Verizon and at&t to cable companies, VoIP providers, and cellular services.

While many Residential users may want to use a simple service such as those provided by cable companies, we also believe some households can greatly benefit from their own networked VoIP system — such as Asterisk or Trixbox.

With telecomuting becoming a more accepted method of work, a local Asterisk solution can separate work calls from home, provide a powerful business presence, as well as saving money on regular household calls.

Plus, the use of a dedicated computer for your phone system can also provide your home with a centralized server for storage, media, and data back-up. Talk about a win / win.
