VOIP Services and options -
November 25th, 2005, 06:48 PM
Now is the time where VOIP is competitive and stable enough for home use.
Vonage is very popular in the US, BUT, it is also ranked #17 for VOIP providors! I am posting a link to a site where you can educate yourself about the costs, advantages, or disavantages of using VOIP with your broadband service. Keep in mind that if you have lousy BB, you can not have reliable VOIP. If you have limited upload such as Comcast, or high latency such as Comcast, you will not have a successful VOIP experience. EXPLANATION from bandwidth.com Also, if you make a lot of international calls, the price on VOIP is the same or better than phone cards, which is essentially VOIP where you pay a premium.

Overall call quality is poor. People have a hadr time hearing what I say. There also seems to be a certain amount of latency...sometimes I hear an echo of the conversation and somtimes when I pick up the phone I have to say Hello twice before the other party can hear me. I have an Earthlink cable connection but the check goes to time warner.
