Re: YOUR WRONG

Additionally, the MSOs VoIP product never touches the internet. It flows over their own network to the facility where they have their PSTN connectivity. They can control the quality end-to-end, whereas an Indie VoIP provider is subject to the delays of the internet.

FYI, I have an Indie VoIP phone. (Nuvio nPBX w/ a Polycom 501)

Except on Comcast, where it does -- albeit it never leaves Comcast's network but where it does ride on Comcast's network, that network is part of the Internet.

Comcast controls the QoS on "their" network. Who cares if their network is attached to the internet or not, it never leaves their backbone so no, it never traverses the internet.

I didn't mince the words in that way, I said that the VOIP upstream of Comcast Digital Voice does ride on the Internet. It's not like Time Warner, which uses a dedicated chanell, Comcast uses the same uplink as HSI.
