Re: An Anveo pricing question... Thanks dsl2u.
About Voxox, I tried them to forward my GV number to my cell phone and found that the 'voice quality' was not that great - do you think it would be better on an OBI?
Are there good 'voice quality' alternatives for Canadians for free out-going calls on an ATA? GV has this delay that drives some people crazy, me included.
Thanks.
Rob.

| I've never used GV or OBI equipment. Just Gmail calling - not sure if they are the same in quality. I'm using Nettalk and the quality is great. Usually I don't even notice its VOIP. I don't know if I'd recommend Nettalk because I have an internet connection that is flakey and that may be making the device react much more poorly than most people would experience. If you want a cheap, router based system, just buy it because at about $40 including a year of service, its ridiculously cheap. The key to tech support is to get the email address of the rep that helps you the first time. They have to be in Tech Support, not Customer Service. Then you can email them, avoiding enormous on hold waiting times. They reply usually in a few hours. |

Why would you need a free alternative when they're charging you only half a cent a minute? if quality is what you're concerned about, pay for it.
said by dsl2u:I can't understand why anybody pays for outgoing calling these days. If nobody paid for outgoing calls, most providers you know would be out of business. And good luck getting support or quality with that $0 bill. |

| Yesterday I installed an ASUS RT-N66U wireless router which I then flashed with Tomato Shibby.
Sounds like I know what I am talking about, doesn't it?
Well, I don't!  (as you will see from my questions)
Can and/or should I set up sub nets for my OBI? (see what I mean? )
I think I can do the QoS part, well, atleast I will try.
Should I re-flash with 'Toastman'? Would that be better for my ASUS/OBI world?
Thanks,
Rob.

I have a trusty Linksys/Cisco WRT45GL which I flashed with a Shibby build not too long ago.
There is a thread in which I have been participating recently where someone else and I are considering exactly that change of firmware.
They already did it and I still may soon.
Apparently Toastman's newer builds offer better QoS configurability than Shibby's do, including bandwidth management for the DOWNSTREAM data, and there IS a build available supporting my old beast, and of course there should also be for your newer unit. |
