Vonage What you have to understand is that your walking on the bleeding edge of technology.
What you have to understand is that your walking on the bleeding edge of technology. I'm using vonage for both home and business and find the quality of service just so/so. My wife simply doesnt like it and I over hear her constantly appologizing for the echo.
I can reccomend this only with a cell phone backup since if you power or ISP go dark you will not have phone service. Some of the problems you will encounter are;
Fast Busy - the vonage ATA can't find itself on the network, usually an ISP problem, when this happens you can not make/receive calls
Echo - not sure why but most of us have this problem, it is very annoying.
Choppy calls - I've had callers say that every 3rd word is dropped. I'll hang up and immediately call back and it usually works fine.
I've changed routers and this seems to have helped somewhat, I use a DLink 614+. The ATA is routed to a wireless handset (900mhz to avoid conflict with the wireless router) and I have noticed that what type of phone seems to make a difference. I have a Uniden 900mhz digital that echos, chops and is generally a pain to use. In desperation I switched to a cheap 900mhz GE analog and it works fine, not sure what the cause/effect is but it is real.
When it does work it works well and is unnoticeable from a land line, in fact since voip doesnt transmit dead space there is no static on the line telling you it is active. During a conversation I will constantly get "are you still there?" because we have been subtly programed to hear that white noise which tells us the conversation is still on.
