When the provider said the VoIP didn't work they probably meant no service was set up, but that should be no more than a 'phone call. However I'm confused about what hardware is in place; I gather a 4G dongle is plugged into a USB interface on a router, but are the two VoIP ports on the router or on a separate box? If one VoIP port works better than the other it may be because its codec is configured more appropriately. > So, it appears the WiMax service is being shut down in the city or is it > being sold to the NBN? I thought LTE technology had been selected for "4G" instead of WiMAX so maybe the network is being rationalised, however I've asked a Very Reliable Source for clarification.
