What edge? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,11038271 Eat Me : My Tivo uses the network connection, i.e. through a turbonet adapter, and my Series 2 TiVo uses a USB to ethernet dongle.

My daily calls go through the internet.

The DTV calls never goes thru, and I don't really need it either. DTV doesn't seem to care either.

I don't really order PPV, and if I need to I can just order it over the internet on their website, so no problems there.

I don't even bother sending the calls through the vonage box. The broadband connection is better and doesn't tie up your phone line.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,11038271 Fri, 13 Aug 2004 00:38:18 EDT Re: Edge?

Question...

Anyone know if Tivo or Dish Receivers can use Vonage to make the necessary calls?
Yes, but you need to slow it down to 9600 baud by entering the correct dialing codes... do a search on »www.tivocommunity.com/ to find it, I can't remember what it was offhand.

Ok, sure, Vonage has excellent marketing and PR skills. They are also using the fact that they are a private company and can make all kinds of statements and forecasts without being accountable to anyone.

But in reality Vonage is just a fantastic marketing engine. They don't have any proprietary software or their own network or in house designed hardware or anything.

As their business grows, many of the same subcontractors that Vonage is using for network and call termination services (like Level3) will market their services direct, without giving margin to Vonage. And then they won't necessarily help their competitor.

It's tough being dependent on everybody else for everything. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,11032913 Thu, 12 Aug 2004 14:11:21 EDT
