I'd be surprized if the cable provider has enough bandwidth to adequetly support the three lines there now plus internet activity. Good Luck.
2 is usually the norm that I have seen, and that has not been good quality voice communication. I've yet to see a telephone intensive business stick with vonage lines on cable or DSL, they usually switch back to pots lines after the 30 day test period.

Mark Last week was my first Vonage cut-over {See phone man did it} and while it was smooth,i wondered same thing. Client tells me it is impossible to get local info,only by e-mail or tech help {India}.How can your business rely on this type of support?-------------John PS. Mark I see your in Gap,Pa. Have gone thru your area many times on family trips to Hanover. :thumb:

I've been using Dock.net and it takes about 32K per line. We get cheap DSL here and I use Cisco boxes for the phones (not a fan of Supura boxes) and it works fine.

I had Packet8 and it worked OK but they screwed up porting the number twice and on the third time they ported the wrong number, I gave up on them, three times and still wrong is too much.

We have 2 cable modems in the office. 1 is strictly for data - user browsing, Exchange, and other data infrastructure. The other modem is a motorola with 2 built-in phone lines from Optimum Voice. There's a 2 line Vonage box connected, plus up to 5 ESI Remote IP Station traffic. It's served by a wireless/wired Linksys, so our unsecured wireless access is completely separate from the data network anyway.

Use of an ITSP can be done successfully, but the client must be willing to spend the money for bandwidth and a QOS router when they are also running data applications on the same circuit. Vonage is not the carrier to use for a successful implimentation because they use consumer grade products and do not allow programming access to their hardware.

Trust the Bunnie, here is the pronouncement:

VOIP works when you have a good provider with competent customer service in America.

Finding a business grade provider is not easy and that is what you need, not Vonage, not anyone who has tech support in India.

The people in India speak their kind of English and want to please you. That is not enough to make effective customer service for technology proucts in America.

If cable modems stay up, there is a lot of bandwidth there. In this area we have a lot of down time on cable modems so that is not an effective product in this community, maybe yours.

Voip is not a bad product, you simply must have a competent voip provider and competent customer service. Good luck on finding that and when you do, send them business.
