1 edit | Internet connection quality or is it quantity?
With higher bandwidth becoming available for residential use the problem I think is can the backbone providers support everyone's 6mpbs DSL and 3mbps+ Cable for those faster connections. Imagine this if everyone using their fast connection at the same time there is bound to be congestion thus causing a quality issue somewhere. Well if not then some will be lucky that the backbone provider their ISP is using has the foresight to handle such extra bandwidth. Personally, the times I used my VOIP it never had a quality issue, yet. (knocks on wood). There are some bandwidth things they can do in some applications I don't know if its for VoIP but in streaming applications IP Multicast would not cause congestion problems when implemented with IGMP in main router nodes.

| Yeah, VOIP is not the best, but hey, I got unlimited, well, almost, your allowed 200 long distance calls a month at 30 minutes a piece...100 hours a month. Doubt anyone would ever use it. Regardless, it was $20 for the entire year....works out to like .0001 /minute! |

What about the switched telephone networks which, when overloaded, play a Fisher-Price, "See 'n Say"-quality recording that says, "All circuits are busy. Please try your call again later."
Perhaps they were trying to imitate that authentic See 'n Say sound to remind us of our happy, blissful, younger years in the hope that it would diffuse the anger of a failed call. |
