Please log in for more thread options  Should be fine if you set Vonage to reduce the upstream bandwidth. It will negatively impact your sound quality slightly, but it's not significant. -- Peter: I read a book about this sort of thing once. Brian: Are you sure it was a book? Are you sure it wasn't nothing? Peter: Oh yeah | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

I have plenty of upstream bandwidth, I was just trying it out for the sake of trying it out. -- For recreational use only. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

My only pet peeve was the Motorola ATA; it never did QoS right, even if I had the unit first-in-line to my cable modem. If anything else on the network was downloading anything of substance, the audio would get choppy, and THEN people would start to ask if I was on a cell phone. This was on a 4Mbps downstream/1.5Mbps upstream connection, so I doubt the broadband connection was my problem. I ended up switching to Packet8. The features aren't as refined and polished, but the service is good, and their ATA operates just fine behind my router even if I intentionally place a heavy traffic load on the network. Sound quality is about on par with Vonage at its low-bandwidth setting, but still useable and close enough to toll grade IMO. Again, people I talk to don't notice a difference. -- E-mail fudged to thwart spammers. Transpose the c's and a's in my e-mail address to reply. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
