At the time I thought your issues were due to the adapters, but seeing that you continue to have problems with Voip.MS as well I have to wonder if it's not something else in your setup. Maybe your router?? what brand and model router are you using? are you using stock firmware or something like Tomato?
I guess you could try a 3rd provider (Anveo?) and see if the problems clear up. But if not then it's definitely not the adapters/IP phone and probably something else like router or modem. Both F9 and VMS are generally reliable for most people so it's really weird you'd be having so many problems with both.
I doubt that very much. Bill and I talk using the free-of-charge provider Gigaset.net and the audio quality is always perfect. Crystal clear sound and no issues at all. And we are on opposite sides of the Atlantic ocean. -- Main provider: Anveo - Secondary providers: VoIP.ms, Callcentric, Localphone and Rebtel Hosted PBX: PBXes.org - Phone: Gigaset S685IP
