Re: Your complaints
Dude, seriously. I have been in IT for years, and been a member of this site for almost 9 years... my complaints are valid. Don't be such a fanboy.. This is a newer VoIP company and if no one can speak to the shortcomings of the service how could it improve to be even better?
1) FAXing is not supported by ANY VoIP provider for obvious reasons. My statement was that I have gotten it to work on every single VoIP provider so far except PhonePower, which has me disappointed in that regard.
2) DMZ is something to complain about because it doesn't work. I want the GrandStream between my cable modem and router because I want it to do QoS. Router based QoS will not work on Comcast due to PowerBoost unless you want to limit your upstream bandwidth to less than what you could burst up to (for me that's between 2 and 6 Mbps). I wanted DMZ to be able to be pointed at the router so that UPNP will work correctly with multiple programs, #1 being uTorrent. To port forward through 2 NATs isn't optimal because I would have to assign static IPs in my LAN.. and for 9 computers (most of them being wireless laptops) this isn't an optimal situation. I was able to do DMZ perfectly well with Vonage's V-Portal, and I expect to be able to do the same with any ATA.
3) I said it would be optimal. I understand it does cost money, but at least Live Support on the website could be staffed by 1 or 2 people to handle simple questions with expanded hours.
4) This is a simple setting in the ATA. The amplification level is too high on mine. I was commenting that it should be lowered. It's not a complicated change. It bothers me that I have to hold all the phones in my house (corded and cordless) away from my ear because it's so loud you can hear it from across the room! |
