My experience is that the service is VERY flakey. Sure, you can occasionally get the 3Mb down, rarely get the 256Kb up, but the norm seems to have LOTS of service outages that last 5 seconds to a minute. I also found that as soon as school let out, bandwidth and latency SUCKED. It also frequently went offline for hours at a time (3 days in one case.) My normal upload was 5Kb, and download was 100Kb. IMHO, cable is not a good medium for VOIP (at least adelphia's service... I've heard other cable companies are better.) When called about it, Adelphia claims that their service is designed for web browsing and not interactive applications. WTF??? It would be interesting to hear others experiences. ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
[Asterisk-Users] VOIP Deployment Concerns
Before I got into my question for the day I'd like to applaud all the helpful folks and time spent behind the asterisk project to get it where it is today. Great work and between this list, the doc list and the irc channel it's been a pleasure to deal with people willing to help others when and if they can. I will be moving in a few months and I'm concerned as to what kind of bandwidth I would need to work effectively. The reason I posed the question here is simple most of my work is remote SSH to various BSD/Linux machines but a majority of my business calls from the office and clients will be routed through Asterisk. Currently I use a SIP phone to my local * then IAX2 w/ 2 providers mentioned on this list. Unfortunately quality begins to suffer based on the amount of upstream used by the other users here. Comcast only has a 256 upstream on it's basic package. I've read the IAX2 Trunking Comparisions from John Todd. Where I'll be moving will more than likely be installing broadband from Adelphia Cable 256up 3mbit down unless I have a valid reason to require the 512up/4mbit down prem. package at approximately 80 a month. I don't have any personal experience with them since I do live in NJ and will be relocating to FL. Any advise would greatly appreciated. 1 last thing without starting a flame war who on this list sells the Grandstream BudgetTone's. Yes I know there are probably better options but I need to keep costs down for internal and personal deployments where some other options would be overkill.
