for the sake of your own sanity do not get mediacom! i dont know how
vartec is gone. their "my account" login page still works.

and google has their main page cached:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://64.233.169.104/search?q=cache:bUsTVE7deFwJ:www.vartec.com/+vartec&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=us&client=firefox-a">http://64.233.169.104/search?q=cache:bUsTVE7deFwJ:www.vartec.com/+vartec&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=us&client=firefox-a</a><br>
which looks like it was cached last on the 25th of january so yea.<br>
mediacom charges almost as much as qwest does. there is far better voip
providers out there with a 515 number. just keep looking you'll find
them.<br>

Which may explain why my phones no longer work and no one answers the
customer support lines.
I intended to have a second line using voip and asterisk for my own line,
the death of vartec has changed my plans. It's outrageous how much quest and
att want for a land line. It would be cheaper to get another cell but my mom
doesn't want one. It's looking like a tie between Mediacom and vonage.
