Vonage One slight correction to your description (which is otherwise spot-on). Packet
One slight correction to your description (which is otherwise spot-on). Packet Loss is where the packets don't get to the destination. Packet Discards are where the packets DO get to the destination but they are received late or out of order so that they are as good as lost... in most cases. The never Vonage devices have the ability to correct for jitter. Jitter is the term for packets being received in an order and spacing other than what they were sent out as. By default, their jitter buffer is 60ms. This can be increased but it can add delay to the audio.
If anyone is interested in hearing what different levels of packet discards sounds like, here is a website with sample audio files (plus more than you probablly ever wanted to know about jitter):

UtterChaos, I believe that your cable modem is an Ambit. They don't like putting their name on the modems. Probablly because they don't want you contacting them for support. Their website pretty much says "go away" to the end user (their contact us page says don't contact us).
I assume that your setup is as follows:
Cable Modem > BEFW11S4 > Vonage device (RTP300?)
This is the simplest installation with an existing router. However, it is possible that your router can be causing some of your connection problems. Could you try connecting the Vonage device directly to the cable modem and see if the audio problems continue? Alternatively, you can try connecting your computer directly to the cable modem and run the testyourvoip.com test again. If you do this, you will need to power down the cable modem when you are changing the connections (so that it will give an IP address to the new thing you connect to it).
Also, if you PM me your account number I will check out the jitter correction settings on your Vonage device and run some tests to it.
