I tried Packet8. I couldn't believe they pass that off as telephone service.
It was at best very difficult to understand anyone, and most of the time
completely inaudible. I too now have Optimum voice. It's clearly not as good
as a pots line, but decent enough and cheap enough to deal with.

I am trying out Vocalocity IP PBX - 39.00 a month unlimited. I got 2 lines
and using Linksys SPA942 phones. I got this about 2 months ago pending
moving my office back home. So far the connect quality has been good but
the features I find lacking.

I also have a Vonage business line I have been testing. It has been ok also
and probably a little move flexible since I can use standard phones.

For me I guess it is going to be a learning experience in that I have a PBX
system at my office and even thought it is getting dated still has a lot of
features.

The one thing I miss most with these 2 linksys phones is I do not know if my
wife is on the phone since she has her office on the 2nd floor and my
office is a basement office. With Vonage I can easily use a 2 line or a 4
line phone such as the Panasonic KX-TG2740 and have more features than what
Vocalocity provides.

Does this have anything to do with wireless? Probably not, but it's
an interesting question while I'm waiting for Windoze to convert FAT32
into NTFS.

I use Skype and GizmoProject. I don't care much about audio quality.
I don't really want to talk to anyone on the phone. Email works much
better. If I must, I don't want the call to take too long. Strange
noises, distortion, garble, and such are actually desireable as they
automatically limit the call duration.

Unfortunately, both Skype and GizmoProject have been fairly reliable
and good quality, so I've been forced to pre-distort my voice and
mangle the traffic quality. I allocate the absolute minimum bandwidth
possible in my routers for these services using QoS. If that doesn't
trash the audio, I sometimes decide that it's time to run a Windoze,
Java, Mozilla, Linux, or whatever update. That usually generates
enough network traffic to trash the audio. Whatever the method, my
conversations tend to be short and specific, which is something that
never happens on my cell phone or real POTS line. I've asked both
Skype and GizmoProject for a feature request to intentionally add
distortion, garble, and dropouts, but since they're in the business of
selling minutes, such call limiting features are deemed undesireable.

Jeff, you're wasting your time with Skype and GP, you need Packet 8. I
promise you won't be disappointed

I have had two phone lines with Vonage for almost 3 years now. There were
some hiccups at the beginning, but once the hw was upgraded -I have never
had a problem since.

Quality is great and I would not change.
