@ual.com | I have to ask...how the heck do yo get those high speeds? Are you just lucky to be in an especially good area, or are you doing something special with your setup?
Thx | |

West Chicago, IL | OK - so if I am running QOS on my router to ensure VOIP success, what do I set my upload reserve to? Previousy set it to 320 about 83% of the 384 cap.
Thanks! | |

Also since even highest bandwidth voip codec requires a little less than 100Kbps each way (per call), setting QOS to 200 will be more than sufficient to cover a call plus call waiting or a three way call. The exception is if your voip provider allows simultaneous calling and you use. Then you will need to increase the QOS to the bandwidth the number simultaneous calls require. | |

The other poster told you all you can do if you have the kind that will work with this bursting. | |

Whoo..hoooo.now it just needs to stay 1.5MB/S permenantly...Ive noticed when Uploading I only get the boost for 12MB then it throttles down...but If I pause my file for a few seconds the powerboost kicks in for another 12MB..so I give my files back in bursts and they get it way faster now...way to go comcast | |
