It's your router!
Digg.com VOIP article.
I was reading the above link, and the article it refers to, this morning and getting absolutely spitting mad at the comments. As those of you still working as TSRs can attest the problem described here is common and is caused by voip hardware (The Vonage/Motorola Voip router) more often than any toher thing. It's possible the ISP is shaping voip traffic although it's likely to list voip as a relatively high priorty when configuring QOS. If packet shaping were the cause, though, only voip would be affected. This person reports 100 percent packet loss the very moment he takes his voip phone off the hook. It's so God Damned obvious it's his voip equipment it's sad and OF COURSE Vonage blamed it on the ISP. THEY ALWAYS DO! Just like HP, Dell, Linksys, Gateway, Sony, Microsoft, and every other company who makes products that interface with the internet. They blame the ISP because it's easy. It is, however, not true. I could have posted this as a comment on Digg but then I would have to sign up with a username and password and I just didn't feel like it. I love it when people get all "DAMN THE MAN" about stuff but this ISPs blocking Vonage crap is absolute bullshit.
