Excellent quality with Charter in SoCal for both Ooma and internet.  No 
TV by choice.  The best thing about ooma is being able to kick AT&T in 
the nads!

The tax is $4/month here.  First year we got premium ($15/month) service 
for free, but it didn't offer anything that we really wanted.  The 
device itself is generally available at Costco for $139 or so, but every 
once in a while there will be a sale on the things for $90 or $100, and 
every once in a while I get email offering a coupon for both me and the 
friend that signs up through my coupon number.

If you're interested, check with an ooma-friend and you both get 
something good.  My last one expired in May :-(

Newegg had refurbished units on sale for $90 last year and currently has 
new ones for $109.
