Who is the top VOIP provider?

rangan · 08-02-2006, 11:04 AM

As per the Telephia?s Total Communications Survey for Q2 2006, Vonage occupies number 1 spot in the VOIP market share with nearly 54%, closely followed by Verizon VoiceWing and AT&T with a 5.5% share each.

SunRocket followed with a 4% share, while Lingo had a 2.6% share. NetZero Voice rounded out the top five with a 2.5% share.

Vonage was able to capture such a large market share mainly due to their aggressive advertising.

But more than 12% of all VOIP subscribers are likely to leave their current VOIP service provider for another supplier within a year.

Rankings for the top pure-play VOIP providers are based on subscription services, and exclude free or pay-per-call VOIP services, according to San Francisco-based Telephia.

I will continue to follow what is happening in this area.

Not surprising that Vonage took the number 1 spot. They have all the advertising out there and right in your face, so for anyone considering VOIP this is usually the first company that they look to.

Don't forget the verizon who is catching up the market very fast.
And Earthlink is also not lagging behind. They offer both cable and satellite internet connection.

I think that I am going to check into Earthlink. Do you know how much their service is running per month? I don't have a lot of money to put out and want to make sure that I am going the mose economical route.
