Consider This . . . The issue w/ this and all OTT VoIP services, however, is that the quality of voice service relies totally on the quality of the data connection . . . no data connection and you get no voice service . . . data connection flakes-out and so does your voice serivce.
That's why I dropped my OTT VoIP service and went back to landline . . . my data connection started dropping packets, which resulted in missed inbound calls and other wierd things. |

But, now if my ISP (vz.net) drops a packet or two, I'm none-the-wiser except for maybe an ever-so-slightly slower web page download. And my voice line is not impacted, that's still rock-solid. |
