This may come as a silly ques, but I currently have phone service through the cable company's modem, so I assume it's voip. I rarely fax (approx 7x/yr), but when I do I've never encountered a problem. Is it fair for me to expect the same results with voipo?
FAXing over VoIP networks doesn't work. You can sometimes arrange things so a fairly high percentage of FAXes get through OK. You can occassionally create setups that work 100% of the time. These are rare and unrepeatable setups. You need to use a proper FAX over IP protocol, such as T.38, to achieve consistent reliable FAXing across IP networks.
FAX, and other modem applications, operating over VoIP channels are quirky, and unreliable. This will not get better over time. It will get worse. In general, the more sophisticated the equipment gets in trying to make speech work smoothly, the worse it behaves for modems. In the near term (i.e. until all data applications are native IP applications) store and forward protocols, and protocols tailored to reasonably conveying modem data across an IP channel are the only way to achieve consistent results.

So the alternative is fax to email - incoming.. right?
Thanks for the information....
just a heads up, up to now does voipo has a fax support? I've been searching for a fax support with voip and my friend told me to visit Foiply because they have one i don't know if they are reliable enough but my friend insisted and he said that it's very reliable. Just want to ask if any of you know foiply?or please do give an honest opinion about it i visited their site. Here https://www.foiply.com/online-fax.html
I've been with Voipo for about 1.5 years and it has had fax support for all of that time. Look in VPanel under "features".
FastPBX offers fax support included in plan. Other providers tend to charge extra fees for many features.
Big difference is the quality of VOIP.
-Time warner VOIP was never down, never had problems.
-They also secured the VOIP traffic in their own network from your house so they had
a. more control of the quality so they offered fax service on normal fax machines for free
b. had increased security. this is subjective but feel that it is more secure. Moved from Time Warner willing to take this hopefully small risk.
c. VOIP overall is better at Time Warner. Call quality, ability to make calls all the time was far better on Time Warner.
