But it still seems like either Vonage doesnt own enough bandwidth (54% QOS, when every other site gives me 90+????) or Optimum is deliberatly slowing down *.vonage.com traffic?? I can sign up for 1 million Mbs, but if vonage isnt even giving me a fraction of what I already have, then either they dont have the BW, or its being blocked/slowed before it gets there.

I Dont want OO's Optimum Voice. They wont give me an out of area number or port me from Vonage. But there is no need for me to get a fraction of my QOS and BW from this sites speed test compared to vonage (30mb/95% here to 7Mb/54% there) unless something is wrong with either Vonage or OOnline.

I'm running my VoIP through a wireless interent provider. Downloads around 1.5MB/s to 2.25, uploads approx. 300-500kbps. I've heard of some special settings regarding packet size that Vonage needs to adjust at their end to make it work better. Supposedly this is unique to WISP's. My voice quality is ok, but there are dropouts sometimes. I've tried to call Vonage, but never get through--on hold over an hour. Any help is appreciated!

I'd recommend starting a new thread with your question, and reading the sticky at the top of the thread list entitled "What to post when you are having technical trouble with Vonage". Page 24 of a thread about testing your connection won't be a place where many people will notice a new question.

Says I can support 23 high quality calls. I have Optimum, should be getting better numbers I believe but I run my cable through a splitter to the modem so that might have something to do with it.

Always fun to run the test again and get some pretty different results:

Download 5,769,408 bps
Upload 1,669,384 bps
QOS 97%
RTT 1 ms
MaxPause 60 ms

And yet I can support only 22 high quality calls.
