.........It COULD theoretically be much more reliable if voice and video packets were prioritized over others but then we get into the whole Net Neutrality debate........
Well I guess that would mean VoIP would go down the Tubes like a Dump Truck???
In my case Vonage works, well, OK. But in the last week or so I have had a few more dropped calls than normal even during off-peak hours.
I'd trust my Mobile Phone before VoIP but at least it's cheap and you get what you pay for at the end of the day.
I agree. I pay $35 a year for a SIPphone DID, and it's reliably cheap enough to run a conference bridge on... I have VoIP on my home phone thru Comcast, and a cell thru Verizon. I am ready to take almost as many calls as you can throw at me... For outbound, I make free calls thru voipuser.org, no cost to join or use, they just limit your calltimes to less than 10 or 20 minutes...
