Theodore Peckler lives in Monrovia, California, and is one of the 1.5
million people in the US who uses Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)
systems to make cheap phone calls via his cable modem connection. But
last year, after five months using the VoIP service from the US provider
Vonage without problems, he noticed an abrupt deterioration. "The line
was choppy, very choppy and you could not understand any words spoken,"
he recalls. Puzzled, Peckler ran pingplotter - a program to detect
problems such as packet loss and latency (delays in sending over the
separate "packets" of internet traffic). It revealed major latency
between his cable modem and local internet service provider (ISP).
