Thread: Who is your ISP?

  1. #1

    Default Who is your ISP?

    I have had VOIPo since moving in November 09. RoadRunner is our only option here and I wanted to see what others are using and having success with. My service was flawless from December through mid-March. (excluding any systemwide problems) As of late, and receiving a Grandstream ATA back in March, we have been having intermittent problems that at this point cannot be solved. ATA is connected to a Motorola SB4200 modem and I've tried different patch cables to rule out any physical issues.

    I have been working with Tier II support and latest idea is that my pings occasionally going up to 150ms could be the cause, but I am at a loss since the call quality is fine and there is no packet loss. Usually calls will work fine for a few days and my tickets are closed, then the problems arise again.

    I went with VOIPo for #1 price and #2 to keep our old number of 10+ years. I really want this to work, and I manage servers/networks for a living, but the WAF is not getting any better.

    Anyway, back to the subject, who's your ISP and location?

    AT&T DSL, 3000/384 in S. Florida. Works well, with the occasional hiccup every 3 months or so. All in all, very pleased.

    I use ATT DSL in So. Florida and had been on 3/384. VOIPo worked OK but would really go crazy when trying to use the phone while doing any kind of downloading.
    A while back, for $5 month more, I upped to 6/564 up and haven't looked back since.
    I shuffled among 4 different routers with dd-wrt on and off and tried every iteration of QOS, but no help. Now, with QOS off, no matter how congested my lan is, no trouble at all.

    Reason for spelling this out is to indicate that everyone has a different situation and for sure, one size doesn't fit all.

    Road Runner and now UVerse (3M/1M). NC. Yes, it can be frustrating when things work flawlessly for a while and then there are issues - I've experienced that more than once with VOIPo. Why did you have to move to a Grandstream? You've also not mentioned what kind of issues you've been having.

    I got the Grandstream as a replacement for a Linksys RT31P2 that was stuttering and showing latency on its network interfaces. We are primarily having problems with incoming calls either going fast busy or dead when answered. It is in front of my router, so I don't know what else I can do to troubleshoot.

    Was WOW! Cable(15/2), then Comcast the last 12 months(12/2).
    Today it became WOW! Cable again(6/1).

    I previously had AT&T Elite DSL, but started to have issues with it even pulling 5Mbps down, so I just had Road Runner Turbo installed yesterday. No issues so far, and it's very fast compared to DSL. The Time Warner tech installed a SB5100 cable modem. You might want to upgrade your modem energyx...
