Vonage My setup was:
Motorola SBV4200 Voice over IP cable modem
Netgear WGR614
My setup was:
Motorola SBV4200 Voice over IP cable modem
Netgear WGR614 wireless router
Linksys PAP2 telephone adapter
Three PCs, one wireless, two wired to the WGR 614, very rare that more than one PC in use at any one time. I don't do any P2P filesharing or anything like that, VPN to work is the heaviest use for the upstream connection.
"Official" speeds 5 Mbps downstream, 384 Kbps upstream.
Just did a speed test, which reported 4.83 Mbps down and 566 Kbps upstream. QOS 97 %, RTT 56ms, MaxPause 20ms. TestYourVOIP numbers to Boston and San Jose today vary between 4.3 and 4.4 (with 4.4 being the "max").
These numbers are consistent with what I saw when I was testing Vonage. The numbers always looked good, but very often I was still experiencing unacceptable call quality. I never saw an association between poor quality calls and my own personal internet activity. I would try speed tests during calls and not notice any degradation in call quality. Other times I would be have all the PCs turned off, and calls would still be unacceptable.
With the clock ticking down on my 14-day trial, and reading the threads about how difficult it is to get to Vonage tech support, I decided to cancel for now. When Vonage comes out with E-911 and seems to have a better grip on customer support, I will most likely try again. For now, with Time Warner, I'm still saving money over Verizon, and my call quality is excellent.
