Vonage Reviews

Vonage Yes. WIth almost any consumer QoS solution there will be a degradation in overall

Yes. WIth almost any consumer QoS solution there will be a degradation in overall bandwidth. Even on some high-end QoS solutions one will experience 5-10% loss. Remember "Quality of Service" is not "Quantity of Service"

The software methods (instead of hardware based solutions) used to prioritize/de-prioritize packet timing cause this. EVery packet is analyzed to compare its source, hence even when not in use the lower priority port/netmask/MAC is degraded to its lower priority.

It is a scenario where the user has to decide:

Is it worth the loss of overall bandwidth during non-priority usages to assure a stable and enhanced priority when needed on the assigned ports ?

or

Would I rather use all of my bandwidth and suffer the losses when a device cannot allocate enough time/bandwidth when needed without degrading it's need?

or

Can I afford a hardware-based, managed QoS to assure that a minimal loss of overall bandwidth will occur while still prioritizing the needed traffic only when it is in use.

In my case, I lose about 1000k down and 90k up with QoS enabled, (20% & 18% loss - about $8.00/month on my $40 ISP) and that $8.00 gives me 100% rock solid Vonage service. This $8.00 brings my Vonage bill to bill to around $34.00. My Verizon bill was around $72.00 a month. (which is still a 47% savings).

One could mathematically argue that my savings is thus only 9.4% (20% of 47%) but I do not follow that logic as one is loss of bandwidth and the other is loss of savings & gain of reliabilty... apples and oranges & bananas.

Now I gave my 7 cents.
