I am interested in setting up VOIP for my home phone and looking for some suggestions. I currently have Comcast for my phone and pay $40 a month. The BroadVoice $10 plan includes everything my $40 Comcast plan has. You can probably see why I am interested in switching. We also have cell phones that we use primarily, and have been talking about just disconnecting the home phone, but my wife is not ready for that. So I figured a $10 VOIP solution would work nicely for us.
So here is my dilemma. I have had two friends suggest using BroadVoice. I then spoke with one of those friends on the phone. I was very disappointed. His voice sounded like a tin can, and every third word was dropped. He says he is also using Comcast for Internet. I am okay with cell phone quality, but this is several levels down from that. Is this what I am to expect? Is there anything that can be done about the quality? My second question is that I don't want to replace my current phone system with SIP phones. I would prefer to get a phone adapter. What is a good high quality phone adapter? The one that I thought was nice was the Cisco 168 [1]. The one my friend was using was the Linksys PAP2. When I looked for the PAP2 it said it requires Vonage? What phone adapter device has worked best for you? Thanks for the suggestions Kenneth [1] http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/gatecont/ps514/products_data_sheet09186a008007cd72.html /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
