Traditional phone service losing ground to VoIP

April 15th, 2008 - Posted by Joe

Two of the largest landline service providers in the United States, Verizon and AT&T, are losing ground to VoIP providers according to a recently released USA Telecoms, Wireless and Broadband report. Both traditional phone service companies reported a 10% drop in the number of new landline accounts in 2007.

The report sites the growth of VoIP, such as the services offered by voip.com and Vonage, as a major reason for the decline in traditional phone service lines.

This really isn't surprising given that VoIP services represent a significant value for most consumers, especially those that make long distance or International calls with any degree of frequency. Our research has shown that most consumers will save hundreds of dollars by switching to VoIP.
