    I am running it off of a Qwest DSL 1.5/1 DSL line and I get very good sound quality. Install was a almost instant with DHCP The only echoes I get is if I hang up a call and immediately try to make another call. For some reason, if I hang up and let it sit for about 10-15 seconds then make a new call, the problem does not come up. So far so good.

    Update-I acutally got rid of the service within the 30day period for no cancelation fee. I had a lot of echo and such. I dont think it was entirely the service, I think the interleave that Qwest uses on thier DSL lines had something to do with it.

    Qwest Interleave

    I doubt it was the Qwest Interleaving that was you echo problem. If anything, interleaving usually makes the voip connection better because of the way it doesn't have to resend packets.

    90-100% of echo problems are the phone. There was a problem with some of the firmware on some packet8 adapters. Firmware upgrades fixed that.
