Comcast gets into the VoIP business

Comcast, the largest cable provider in the United States has finally thrown its very big hat in the VoIP ring.

Called, "Digital Voice", Comcast's VoIP offering is on the high side. The company will charge $40 a month for Digital Voice if the customer also buys cable and high-speed Internet. That means the VOIP offering will out of reach of the average consumer if one opts for Digital Voice alone. On the other hand, VoIP providers like Vonage charge as little as $15 a month. Even Telecom giants like AT&T and Qwest charge only $30 a month.

Comcast has around 200,000 customers more than 20 markets for its Digital Voice service. It appears that it is aiming for the top end of the market.
