I'm having occasional speech quality problems with SunRocket.
- When I speak, the person I called will sometimes say I sound like I'm stuttering.
- Sometimes when the person I call says her first "hello", I don't hear it. So I say "hello" and when she replies "hello" a second time, I hear it okay. Generally, the rest of her conversation is okay.
- I was talking to someone and after I finished speaking, they was no response. It was just like the line was dead, but there was no change in background noise (it remained at a very low, unobjectable level) to indicate anything was wrong. I redialed, connected again and had a different problem, so I reverted to my Verizon line.
Except for that odd situation 2 above, I can hear the person I've called clearly, without the stuttering problem. Most problems are understanding what I'm saying.
I'm using a Cablevision cable connection. The cable from the street goes first to the cable modem, then to the telephone adapter, which branches off to the phone and computer.
I wasn't trying to do any serious down- or uploading during the conversations. Using this website,
The question is, Would using a different company (e.g., Vonage) with a different telephone adapter improve the situation? Also, are there telephone adapters that hook directly to the cable from the street and whose outputs feed the phone and the cable modem? Wouldn't such an arrangement give the phone higher priority than the computer for the available bandwidth and thus be immune to down- or uploading that might be going on?
Thanks,
Ray
