 What VoIP really stands for

I always thought VoIP stood for a service called "Vice or Internet Porn".:D Or maybe "Very Old Internet Porn" for people over 50.

im really not surprised, you wouldnt really know much about it unless you were on this site, or other sites. You'd really have to know you stuff.

How could people be so clueless, they have commercials all the time here on the TV. People just don't pay attention (which doesn't surprise me one bit).

I don't see why anyone really needs to know what VoIP is.

They spend WAY far too much energy on calling it VoIP service. Call it Internet Based Telephone? or as in the cable companies, they call it Digital Phone. Comcast went as far as to call it Digital Voice. Why? Because it doesn't matter to the average person. I'd guess that 95% of the people out there just want to pick up the phone, get a dial tone, press a few buttons and get connected. How that happens? They don't care, so long as it works.

Besides, when was the last time you heard the cable company call their cable modems QAM4/QPSK service, or DSL call it G.Lite, CAP, or DMT?

So, bottom line, who cares that it's Voice over Internet Protocol... to the consumer, it's just phone service.
