| What's it do?
EDIT: Ok, I just installed it. It doesn't seem to do anything obvious, maybe some backend stuff. But still no 7 digit dialing, caller id with name, etc... |

Noticeable difference are the words "Upgrade Firmware" on the left side, as oppsed to what it had before. |

Folsom, CA | Great. Another "upgrade" that MAY correct faults from the last one.
No new FEATURES again. Thanks P8!!! |

You may have gotten the update automatically. The DTA does support remote updates.
I can say it is new, as I checked the site a couple days ago, and it wasn't there. |

Just installed the update as well. The first phone call I made with it sounded clearer than usual. I wonder if P8 finally rolled out g711 for voice calls w/ this firmware. |

Interesting. A quick call using the golden phone on testyourvoip.com gave me an MOS score of 4.4...the same score a g711 codec gets.... |

I don't think the codec changed. According to my router the DTA is only using 30Kbps of outbound bandwidth during a call. |

Hope someone goes to testyourvoip.com and does a test BEFORE they upgrade, and then again after the upgrade. If I'd a thunk it I wudda. |

I just tested at testyourvoip.com with both the Boston and LA servers. Both times I scored a 4.4 on Packet8 using the 13.12 firmware. I have not upgraded the firmware to see if anything improves. I recorded 0 packet loss and 89ms round trip latency to LA. Not bad...:) |

Did something like http downloader option change to "Upgrade Firmware" ?
That is the only thing I see...
Long ago, firmwares away, the quality was 4.4
I wonder if it just sounds the same to the computer... |

Really want to be able to copy the version of firmware on the DTA that I have on there off into a file but can't figure out how I would download the firmware off the DTA. |
