One thing I have found is everyone tells you G.729 sounds just as good as G.711, but I don’t think that’s true. Customers transitioning from POTS will often complain about the voice quality with G.729, but G.711 will probably sound better than their POTS ever sounded. And as Faisal notes, then there is HD voice, especially for intracompany calls.

We replaced my mums TWC with fixed cellular and an ATT landline. Better all around. When I was at district with had hybrid system. The pots one had almost zero issues. The main office went to Cisco and after a few months went back to pots. At time we had 45 x 45 symmetrical link...now they have 1Gbps link.... At district our boss ran a flat network which probably contributed to much of this....not sure what they have now...

Firmware updates are a PITA because of the random changes, like taking out DHCP relay from the GUI requiring CLI. Their sizing calculator is pretty spot on. They do a decent trade in for competitor replacement, just send a serial and certificate of destruction. It does suck if you dont do the maintenance contract you lose some of the UTM like webfiltering They have some 3com partnership, or they bought hem, something to that effect. Their switches are a bit big for the britches, I wasnt impressed. It can get pricey though On Wed, Nov 18, 2015 at 4:41 PM, Paul Stewart <[email protected]> wrote: Interesting ….
