Test Your Internet Connection For VOIP Quality

As we pointed out on the save money on your phone bill page, the quality of any internet phone service (VOIP) depends on the quality of your internet connection. Obviously if your connection is slow you may experience poor sound quality while using a internet telephone service. But there might be other problems on your line that you aren't even aware of that can cause problems like 'stuttering', voice drop-out, disconnects, etc.

Re: internet line quality test

i'm curious if anyone else has used this line quality test(s) above and compared the results against the actual performance of their VOIP.. it's proved accurate for us most of the time, however sometimes the test says 'excellent', but my voip quality sukx ..

If you have used the test, please post how accurate it seems.. also let us know who your VOIP provider is.. we use Vonage.

Re: VOIP quality test

 But.. do you use VOIP so you can compare the results with the actual voice-quality?

 

..There's nothing you can do that can't be done...

Re: VOIP quality test
