Hi guys,
I just moved to the Chicago area, and saw some ads for the magic jack. Thought I would try it out, but I haven't even picked an ISP yet. The big ones available here are Comcast, AT&T and I think Verizon also.
I thought that since I was starting from scratch, I could try and set up to avoid as many problems as possible.
Any feedback on which will work better with the MagicJack? Does it make a difference?
Thanks,
Usagi.

I have cable and it works great. I've been reading about Comcast shaping traffic, but don't have any personal experience to confirm or deny the allegation. DSL is a good, strong alternative if you have enough upload (more than 128k) since I like to allow 100k up and down as a minimum requirement. If you have insufficient bandwidth, you may experience some degradation of your call quality.
