Hey,
A little while ago, I made a similar post on the same subject. Unfortunately, I haven't had an opportunity to post an update to let everyone know how my service is working.
I live in Toronto and signed up for Rogers Ultra-Lite high speed service. I was worried about the upload speeds and the capabilities to have a conversation with only 64 kbps. I decided to chance it and order Vonage.
Aside from a minor problem with the set up involving an old firmware version on my RTP 300, I played around with the dashboard settings until I got it to work properly.
At first, with the dashboard speed setting at 90kbps, the phone didn't work too well, my voice sounded choppy. I reduced the speed setting to the minimum, I think 30 kbps, and people on the other end heard an echo. After a week, I changed the setting to 50kbps (the middle setting) and it works great.
If you plan to use Vonage with either the Ultra-Lite or Ultra, you will have to recognize the capabilities of your service. I cannot use the Internet while speaking on the phone. If I'm on the Internet and the phone rings, I hit stop on all pages downloading. As well, every once in a while, if I have my Outlook open, the phone may act up if my computer checks E-mail automatically.
Hope this helps,
J

• I don't know if it costs to upgrade, but if it doesn't you could start with the Lite
• As a benchmark, my Vonage worked well with DSL, I know you're looking at Cable,
• Thanks for all of your replies, everyone. I think I'm actually going to go with
• VoIP uses a little over 50kbps of bandwidth so you can pick your package based on
• Jim,
I was planning on using the router I already have (Linksys WRT54G) plus
• Your router does indeed support QoS so you'll be fine.
