I've had occasional problems with some phone numbers, but they seem to have gone away. At about $2 a month for 5 years unlimited service with voicemail and 411 calls included, I'm not going to bitch. Also, I've temporarily moved back in with the folks, and it seems to be working fine over my Dad's DSL.
