VOIP: Internet Telephone Question

I just recently signed up for telephone service through my cable
company (It is supposed to be installed Tuesday, December 5.) Other
than my cable company, I had considered services such as Vonage and
Sunrocket.

After I signed up with my cable company, I was thinking and had the
following question: Is it possible to subscribe to two different VOIP
telephone services at the same time and be able to use either of them
whenever you want? In other words, after I port my current telephone
number to my cable company and start with their service, what if I
decide I need another line later and want to try another company for
the new line, say Vonage, Sunrocket, or another one of my choice, for
example?

What would be involved with doing this, especially if I don't have an
active landline? Would I need to go through my local telephone
company and have them install a new telephone line and then once it is
working, transfer the telephone service for the new line to Vonage,
Sunrocket, or some other provider of my choice? Would it be possible
to have two VOIP lines with two separate VOIP providers utilizing the
same high speed cable modem connection?

Just curious if this would be possible.

Thanks,

Korey
