I, for one, would simply change broadband providers if I couldn't get a connection good enough to hold a VoIP phone call. So I'm not sure there is really a problem here -- but it couldn't hurt to proactively address it -- I guess. |

Many areas in the US do not have a a wide selection of broadband providers, and with such a limited selection these providers can leverage their services and possibly limit services of other VOIP providers.

Deliberate degradation of service would leave some fingerprints behind, and when sworn under oath, many people do in fact tell the truth.
