half the time I can't get a link to them.. :@ I got it up, made one phone call... and then it went down again

Blah... I barelly use packet8 anymore, and each time I do, it seems to die on me.... :\ I think I might try voiceplus or another service

just dialed 408-pop-corn, and it worked

Also paged my g/f.... it worked also. Link light is blinking steady when the phone is off sometimes... guess they aint stable now. I think I'll wait 5-10 mins for them to fix things before I make a call...

my patience will wearing thin...
I am ALWAYS on here defending packet8. saying how they are great service and occasionally have problems, yet justifiable because of the price...

Both in & outgoing calls down here in Cincy, OH at 8:30 PM EST. Outgoing just silence and when I call my P8 number from the PSTN after about 1 min. get a fast busy.

EDIT: P.S. Get dial tone on outgoing but also after about 1 min. get a fast busy.

2nd EDIT: P.P.S. Wonder if this is related to "Virtual Office"?

Look at the bright side, at least they didn't kill incoming and outgoing at one time

seriously, I just ordered the service, (still waiting on UPS) and am having serious second thoughts. I wanted to compare it to broadvox and broadvoice. even BVD sounds better that this....

DTA log shows:

8. APP: DNS cannot resolve '_sip._udp.packet8.net'
9. APP: DNS cannot resolve '_sip._udp.packet8.net'

Wonder if its a Level3, P8 thing, or a DNS issue. Anyone have the IP address to proxy1.packet8.net?

The only reason I will keep packet8 is because they have Low international rates.

I'm always defending them also.or $20... it is still a great service... but for the extra money, I'd rather get a more reliable one... I'm tired of my g/f trying to call me and it not working, it makes her give up... and that was the only reason I bought this anyways. I'll be switching at least one ofmy packet8 accounts to another provider.

I'm thinking of going with www.broadvoice.com... They don't have the exchange I want However, it says coming soon. I'm thinking of canceling my second line... using them, having a inbound from where she lives... and just usiong this one when they go down... Then if I like it, and when they get my area code... eventually get them both
