I haven't had any problems with my primary line (which is Vonage), except those times I start a large download or upload (uploads are worse) that consumes all my bandwidth while I'm on the phone. I'm still playing with getting QoS set up to help that out; it's better now, but still not great. If I'm just reading e-mail or surfing the web when using the phone, though, it's no problem. I'm on a RoadRunner cable modem. I do have a Virtual Number in the 253 area code, and when someone calls on that line, there is a bit of echo.. just enough to be annoying. I keep meaning on looking into that, but since I'm setting up an Asterisk box with IAX peering now anyways, I may just cancel the 253 number and get a toll free number routed via IAX. :) One thing to note - one of my coworkers also has Vonage, and was using it with old junk phones to start with (like the really early touch-tone phones). He said it sounded horrible on those, and went out and purchased a cheap new phone, and the quality improved.
