Re: Yep, we've been saying it for years
I am not sure with Comcast, but when I designed cable networks (4 years ago) we provided a Cisco router with 2 phone out jacks. Then, over a completely separate protocol (not IP) we pulled that voice over the copper in a way that no matter what the internet did the voice went right to the headend. The voice was even on a different channel.
So I really do not consider Comcast as VOIP voice services, even thought I do not know there design. Reason being is voice services, from what I have seen, are not over IP, in cable plants.
Also, voice circuits at the headend are given different priority and setup than say a T1 or whatever.
It just makes no sense to compare apples to oranges here. They are not the same service. Vonage and buddies all have a lot more challenges than a local call on a local network like Comcast. To me it is like saying Fios phone service is the same as VOIP. Or POTS is the same as cell service. |
