New SMB VoIP Products from Covad

Covad just introed their new ClearEdge Office voice-over-IP service. Think of it as Vonage for businesses with 20 people or fewer. All you need is business class broadband and you're in good to go.

According to Covad, the voice quality is the same as standard voice service (which our recent VoIP service tests would tend to bear out, though some folks are starting to question that), but at Vonage-style pricing. Also comes with Vonage-style features, including not just the usual voicemail, call forwarding, caller ID, etc. stuff, but also business-specific features like the ability to create "hunt groups" of forwarded phones so your calls can find you across multiple different lines and handsets and also IP faxing support, which is very cool as long as they make it easy.

They are way more expensive that Vonage. Try $200-290 for 2-4 line small business. I don't know where the author is getting the "Vonage-style pricing" idea.
