I've been having trouble with people not being able to understand me or saying that it keeps cutting out, i also can hear echo's. Do any of these numbers look troubling?

I just ran this. My service has gotten terrible since the hurricane came close. Time Warner has been all over the place and my settings now say they only support 2 high speed connections. I just wish I'd run this earlier so I'd have something to compare to.

I just went to my WRT Linksys router and made the QOS settings changes that were mentioned earlier in this thread. Putting Auto enable for QoS and also Port 4 set to high which is the one my RT31P2 is connect to. Now look at these results.

Im looking into switching from primus to Vonage because my ISP is not compatible with primus. I have tons of static and dead air when making calls. Both primus and Shaw are blaming one another. I jsut finished the VonageVoip test and here are my results
download: 3.41mbps uplodad: 468 kbps QOS: 83% Max pause: 156
Does anyone know what this means? Are these good enough results to order Vonage and not get go through the same headache with static and dead air?

These seem like pretty decent results but the test results also say that I can only support 4 connections (which is fine, since I only have one line). It just seems odd. These are the results after swapping out my cable modem from a Teryon (sp?) to a Scientific Atlanta. The Teryon was obviously a p.o.s. I was constantly having to reboot it to get reasonable speeds out of it and I was getting wavy, echo-ey connections. I have Comcast in Nashville, TN.

Your upload is JUST BARELY able to support Vonage. Even surfing the web or checking your email while you talk on the Vonage line is going to cause problems for you. People on the other end of the call will most certainly notice stutters, drops, bad audio, and a bunch of other things. If you want to Vonage, you will pretty much have to use the bandwidth saver feature. Dial it down to 50K and things should improve on the bandwidth usage end, just don't run any bandwidth hogs while you do it.
If I'm interpreting that MaxPause correctly, it's saying that a packet wait of over 1 second was encountered. That's satellite numbers, or worse. If you get those regularly, all the bandwidth on the planet isn't going to help.
What kind of broadband are you on, and what kind of bandwidth are you supposed to get on it? Your connection just BARELY qualifies as "broadband".

I have Charter Cable Linksys wireless G router LinkSys PAP2 I am not on the wireless side cable to modem to computer router to PAP2
THAT'S a CABLE connection?
What bandwidth are you SUPPOSED to get? 'Cause that's the lowest cable number I've seen. Either you're buying a very inexpensive connection or you need to call your ISP...
