I, for one, would simply change broadband providers if I couldn't get a connection good enough to hold a VoIP phone call. So I'm not sure there is really a problem here -- but it couldn't hurt to proactively address it -- I guess. |

Many areas in the US do not have a a wide selection of broadband providers, and with such a limited selection these providers can leverage their services and possibly limit services of other VOIP providers.

Deep River, CT | Yes, but it would also be extremely difficult to prove, if not impossible, that the person's ISP is responsible for degradation of a competing VoIP provider or if it is the VoIP provider itself that is responsible for service degradation. |

Deliberate degradation of service would leave some fingerprints behind, and when sworn under oath, many people do in fact tell the truth.
