I use Ooma also.  I'm very happy with it.  I'd like to make a complete 
break from the cable company but the only choice for fast internet is 
the cable company.  Verizon hasn't made FIOS available in Brookhaven 
Township where I live and they say they have no interest in doing it in 
the future.  East of the township, FIOS is available.  I stopped using 
cable TV service a couple of years ago.  I got frustrated with the new 
cable boxes.  The older Scientific Atlanta boxes were bad enough, 
particularly the DVR units that would always breakdown.  I was replacing 
them every year.  They had internal hard drives, the recordings were not 
on the cable company's servers.  The replacement Samsung boxes were 
better in some respects - smaller and DVR was on the company servers so 
you needed only one DVR unit but could watch recordings in any room.  
But the worst thing about those boxes was how long it took to change a 
channel.  It was almost five seconds which may not seem long but it is.  
I finally tossed them and got DirecTV and have been very happy.  When I 
move to TN next year, I'll keep DirecTV for one reason - hockey.  I can 
get MSG network which broadcasts the NY Rangers on satellite but it's 
not offered on a local cable company outside the NY tri-state area.
