| Re: LNP Turbo Mode said by Austinloop  :What requirements, precisely, placed on pots are impossible to deliver? The obvious one - guaranteed uptime.
said by Austinloop :I have seen ads for one of the VoIP companies saying they are your internet phone company. How are they different if they claim to provide phone service? They are a phone company, they provide you with a voice line. that you can use to talk to others on the POTS network.
Phone service comes in different flavors and VoIP is one of several different flavors of phone service. Other phone companies provide you with phone service, but are exempt from the same rules as POTS providers - cell carriers, satellite phone careers, etc.

| Re: LNP Turbo Mode Well, unfortunately, if some none technical type older person decides to swallow all that the company I referring to doesn't know that there is no guaranteed up time, possible delays with emergency calls, etc., then maybe, just maybe, the rules should be the same.
But I am sure that the VoIP companies fully explain the downside of their service, including no guaranteed up time fully to new customers.
To the vast majority of people, present forum excepted, phone service is phone service. | |
