    They keep telling me that their service won't work with my broadband NetZero 3G service. I spent the extra $4.00 to go all out broadband and they won't honor it. This is just another way for them to make me pay for the more expensive broadband companies.

    I really love the 3G experience, my Linspire updates download in under 10 minutes.

    What can I do to get around Vonage's ignorance?

    NetZero 3g is not Broadband. It is Dial-up, so Vonage will not work with it. Sorry, but you will have to subscribe to DSL or CATV Broadband.

    What is NetZero HiSpeed 3G?
    NetZero HiSpeed 3G is the next generation of dial-up Internet access. It accelerates your Web surfing experience using your existing phone jack and modem and allows you to surf the Web at broadband-like speeds without the high cost of a broadband connection.

    How reliable is NetZero HiSpeed 3G?
    With thousands of access numbers nationwide, NetZero makes it easy for you to get online and stay online, with fewer busy signals and disconnects. To check what access numbers are available in your area, click here.

    Why should I consider NetZero HiSpeed 3G Instead of Broadband?
    Both NetZero HiSpeed 3G and broadband will save you time by letting you surf the Web much faster than standard dial-up. However, unlike broadband, NetZero HiSpeed 3G does not require you to pay for additional equipment such as DSL/cable modems or routers to enjoy faster surfing. Plus, there's no hardware installation required. Simply download the NetZero HiSpeed 3G software and within minutes you can surf the Web at speeds so fast you won't believe it's not broadband. And, with NetZero Instant On! you can access your email and favorite web content INSTANTLY!

    How does NetZero HiSpeed 3G work?
    Data Compression and Image Optimization - Before the text and graphics that make up Web pages get sent to you over your phone line, NetZero HiSpeed 3G compresses them using a proprietary technology. Less data is sent so your surfing experience is much faster!​

    This right here is why vonage wouldn't work with netzero 3g, because for most voip need a decent low latency connection to transmit data, your connection appears faster, by caching and such, but the actual transfer speed doesn't increase.
