| Packet 8 to get call waiting and 3 way calling!!!! I just called packet 8 and they todl me in Nov they should be getting call waiting and 3 way calling. this will be great!!! and I did nto have to wait 40 min on hold as you do when you call Vonage. They also told me they should be fixing the trouble with the voice mail light indcatoer not working properly as well. Packet 8 rules.....they are cheaper and provde much better service then vonage, paying more does NOt allways mean you get more!!!!! |

Do the math to find out what is the huff. |
|
| yes do the math and like I said if you enjoy paying twice the amount and love 40 to 50 min hold times then you ccan stay with Vonage. I am trying to get away from the big phone companies, NOT FIND ONE THAT IS MUCH WORSE. |

I am impartial here as I have both services and Vonage quality for me is definitly better. I have yet to have a problem with vonage, but frequently have problems with P8 (one party can hear, the other can not).
There both good, but thats just my 2c.

Any word as to the status of offering other codecs? I want to be able to utilize more bandwith, for better quality... I have it, so why cant I use it right...? |

Simpsonville, SC | Well, you using more bandwidth probably means they must also use more... thus costing them more money. That might be the reason for not allowing other codecs. Thats just a guess tho... *shrug* |
|
| I did hear that they might they plan on ofering 411 service ssoon, allthough no time was given |

You can use G711 for outgoing calls, just incoming calls are forced to use G723 which is VERY low bandwidth. |
|
| I could NOT notice any difference from packet 8 lower bandwith setting and Vonage's high bandwith setting, so why switch? I even made several calls and switch from Voange to packet 8 and lots of them even said no difference or that packet 8 was better. |

Well Im located in the east coast, and I get very high pings to the server... so I was thinking if I can utilize more bandwith to communicate with them I will get better quality service. Right now my phone is no where near landline quality... its sounds like a crappy sprint phone... people can tell im on no regular phone... and i get frequent call drops etc... so therefor I thought that if the dta used more juice it would be better... |
