Update June 24/07
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------
I'm still with Packet 8 and after 2yrs I've experienced little down time and service, sound quality has been as reliable as POTS. They are now my primary phone service.
Update 4/18/05
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------
I decided to give Packet 8 another try after I had some problems with the local Telephone Co. I have to say that Packet 8 has improved since my first try with them over a year ago. I also upgraded my old router this time which seems to have improved call quality. Also, my cable provider has raised its upload and download speeds so this will improve reliability as well.
Packet 8 now ships the BPA 410 adapter which you can now run two phones simultaneously.
Packet 8 now offers true E911 service for an additional fee.
The bad thing is that there now is a $59 cancellation fee for 12 months so I hope I do not have problems after the 30 day trial.
Packet 8s website needs improvement as call features are a little hard to find.
Update July 22nd
After having used Packet 8 since April, I have only experienced a couple of outages. Service has been stable for the last month and a half and I'm very happy. Now if the can go to 7 digit dialing it would be just like POTS service. It's not a big issue for me as I programmed my phone to handle the 1+ Area Code. I still can recommend Packet 8 for VIOP.
