Re: Preferred Broadband Service
I think the "better" ISP for VoIP is the one that can consistently provide the lower latency and lower jitter. There's no rule of thumb between cable and DSL -- some claim cable can be less stable if the node you're on is overcrowded and that's less likely to happen with DSL. I've been using VoIP with Brighthouse MI cable for over four years and have never had trouble, though.
Unless there's some way to actually test either flavor of connection with »testyourvoip.com/ I'd just go by price. Bandwidth isn't a real issue, best quality takes about 90 Kbps up and down. Just don't run other bandwidth hogs at the same time. |
