Kinda confused me, I thought reps from AOL came into the VoIP forum and sent out invitations, but it's actually people signing up for the beta themselves.
Why? |

I've been a beta tester for AOL for years and I didn't even hear about this until I went here. There isn't a word on the official beta page. Going to "VoIP Beta" just brings you to a page that says it's invite only but it has a "Consider Me" button. |

ATDN sucks, that's why. 
If they can't even trust it to keep their mail service reliable, why do you think they'd use it for their own VoIP network?

It's by invite only, I got one about 3 weeks ago and am waiting for my ATA box.

Back when I worked for AOL/Digital City Boston they used UUNet. Now that's a reliable backbone.

| backbone vs backend
ATDN is just "their" backbone.
L3 has all the voice termination equipment. they are how AOL VOIP will get into the PTSN. since L3 is effectively a phone company, it's akin to them getting in bed with any of the other big telco guys. they need the old school telco equip at some point it's just a matter of who to get it from. L3 already has a pretty large product base biult around this, AOL will just be another really big customer.

AOL=Internet for dummies, now are we going to have VOIP for dummies? Are they going to overload their server with something when they offer VOIP that will cause people to lose their service just like they chuck their Internet with content and dial-up users get booted because in reality the server is probably too crowded. At least that's the theory I came to when AOL said I have the best access numbers and I even had a new modem put in and a top-notch computer at the time and I still got disconnected.
I love you DSL, I love you landline!

| AOL vs. Time Warner?
Who thought up this AOL/Time Warner Merger anyways? Seriously, the one who did should be shot.
There is more fighting internal to the company than I have ever seen in my 22 years of living on this Earth.
Time Warner has VoIP, therefore, AOL much have VoIP. Talk about fighting amongst themselves. Oh wait, I know, they do this to create virtual competition. That way, they can't be accused on being a monopoly. Ehhhh....Something is wrong here!

If I go to keyword "Voip beta", it says its "by invitation only" , but it does give you a sign up option if you want to sign up. |

Re: wtf
shows you're not in the business
ATDN is a very well run network. It's also one of the most sought after peers for any largeish network. It has very good transit, and extremely reliable. Knock the AOL service all you want, but don't trip on ATDN. |

Re: AOL vs. Time Warner?
I guess MTV and VH1 'monopoly' are 'fighting' even though they're both owned by Viacom? It couldn't just be taking advantage of the different brands? No... that couldn't be it. |

Level3 is going to provide the VoIP endpoints... They already provide VoIP termination to other providers like Packet8.

Oh just keep overpaying for Internet and when your VOIP goes out don't post a wining message.
