clubs: | But... If they want to offer VoIP they STILL need to raise the upload speeds. Or anytime someone in the house is talking on the phone and some one surfs they will get choppy voice on the conversion. The current 256k still isn't enough. | |

Unles they are doing something totally different that I do not know about. | |

| hescominsoon  is right, cable companies will sell VoIP as another Internet access on his own QUAM wich is a plus against third party VoIP providers.

2 edits | actually it depends what kind of VOIP implementation you are talking about. 
without QoS on your router, you will run into this issue. | |

Langhorne, PA | Re: But... it is still VoIP, the voice data is still going over an IP network, it is just not using your upstream, like a vonage type setup will. | |

| If they roll out true VoIP, I would expect this would be done in conjunction with an implementation of DOCSIS 1.1 features. They have already upgraded most systems with DOCSIS 1.1 headend equipment, still running like a DOCSIS 1.0 system. This means they can implement DOCSIS 1.1 service flows specifying QoS for VoIP, completely independent of QoS features supported by subscribers' routers. Consequently, upstream data rates will not necessarily need to be upgraded. | |
