Simple way to explain it:
When you visit a website, you open a request to the server via port 80. The packets contain commands, such as "give me the default page", etc.
Voip sends packets in the SAME exact manner as a webpage request does, only it contains your voice. The Voip machine that you hook into your internet connection will send/receive this data packets. It sends the data packets to Vonage, and they do whatever they do to get it onto the normal phone system.
So you see, the data is a lot like e-mail, web browsing, downloading, etc. It's just... voice. :D And like other things, if you're downloading a lot of files, your internet goes down, there is a problem at the cable company, etc, your phone can go out.
Please note that there is no such thing as 'frequency' on internet connections. (There actually is, but it's on a much lower level, nothing the end user needs to worry about) It's all data, just on diffrent ports. (Like an shipyard with diffrent peers, or 'ports' as you would have it!)
Hope that explains it!

• Can someone please tell me how VoIP works. I've got contradictory explanations
• This file was sent to me in a email about three years ago. I do not recall who sent

• If you saw my recent post it gives you an idea of how it works as far as Vonage is concerned.
• It's all done by little elves....
Who cares, so long as it works?
