That doesn't bode well for voipuser. Struggling? Phased return?
Like it or not think the top two slots in his top five would have to
feature Skype Out and BT Broadband Voice with Vonage in the third
slot.
Not sure who would be fourth and fifth really. Tesco Internet phone
would have figured at one point bit not now obviously.
Anyone have different ideas for a list?
In order of popularity for an outgoing call provider.
