But Dixons being behind Freetalk do not help either. When Dixons first
started Freeserve it was a pretty good service, then after about 12
months it started to go downhill and have never recovered, even now
under Wannodoo it is a pile of crap.
Is Dixons going to do the same thing with Freetalk, give a good service
to start with, then let it go downhill and sell it to the French?

Dixons and good service should not be in the same sentence, unless it is
in the negative format.

The thing that worries me about this Freetalk is that you pay this £75
or what ever for the box and you are stuck with it for 12 months, then
after 12 months you are still stuck with it, because I doubt very much
it their adaptor can be used with any other VOIP supplier.

So if you want to go with another supplier, you got to start all over
again.

I still do not think VOIP is reliable enough, but I must admit that I
have been having thoughts of going for a VOIP service, but it won't be
freetalk, mainly due to paying a monthly subscription. I would not use
it enough to make it worth while.

But then if I am not going to use it that much, maybe I am better off
with my land line.
