Folks, This is a issue that I have been trying to figure out, and I have been talking to the two parties involved.
I am a HughesNet user (that is all we have out in the woods here) I have been using a AT&T microcell on the satellite link since July. When I moved here I was told that the microcell would probably not work, or at best with a lot of latency, well it did quite well, I always told people at the start of a call that I was on a satellite link and that there would be some delay, no issues. Then on the 15th of Dec the outbound audio went to trash. I can hear anything on the far end just fine, voice quality is good nothing missing. But the outbound sounds totally distorted if there is any- thing at all. AT&T has been working with me on it, so far they do not see any- thing wrong with the microcell, HughesNet totally washes their hands, the thing that I have observed is that this whole thing took a dump after there was a DHCP assignment change ( Hughesnet seems to change them all the time) the other thing that I had noticed was that prior to that change, applications that tried to map your IP address to your location usualy showed me as being somewhere near Kansas City. Now they think I am near Chicago. Does anyone on the list have any experience with this sort of thing. I am going to see if I can get a hub on between the microcell and the rest of the network and try to sniff where it is talking to, then see if I do a traceroute to see what manner of delays I see on the link. In my miserable experience with VoIP, if there was a issue it always seemed like it showed up on both paths, but in this case it is only the outbound, so I am assuming that something is causing a delay there somewhere. The microcell comes on line and appears to be happy, but no joy with the outbound audio. -- Chuck Hast -- KP4DJT -- Glass, five thousand years of history and getting better.
