I read an interesting post on Oztells discussion board, indicating that the lower bandwidth codecs (ie greater level of compression) introduce more delay and require lower network latency to maintain good voice quality. This may have relevance when your voip provider shunts offshore, or in other latency prone situations. Refer: http://ozforum.oztralia.com/index.php?showtopic=2000
There was a significant improvement when switching to the (least compressed) G711 codec, but I noticed data throughput also significantly increased eg the isp metered 25 mins of talk at 40 to 50 megs (download metering only). Thus if the policy was to use voip in preference to analogue at the clinic, I would have to consider having an unlimited broadband deal.
