Questions about VOIP Providers, Service, Quality, & Tech Questions?
Posted January 23rd, 2009 by admin 1 Comment »
I’m considering changing my regular home phone service (phone co.) to Cable Telephone (Comcast) or possibly a VoiP service like Skype or Sunrocket.
Comcast says a big advantage of their service is the battery backup which keeps the service available for 8 hours if power goes out. Otherwise I think it’s just the same as having the regular phone service - no special phones, all extentions work, etc.
Skype & Sunrocket are a LOT cheaper, but are they better? Worse? Some questions about VOIP services before I take the plunge:
With VoiP will I totally lose phone service if my power or my internet connection goes out?
Even though we have cable internet, sometimes it is really, really slow. How would that affect a VoiP phone service like Skype?
I’m sure you’d lose service if power fails, or if your computer or modem craps out. Has this been a problem for you?
Do all your existing extentions work? Is sound quality great?
Other advantges or disadvantages?
THANKS!!
