Completely aware of that... I am on a home Telus DSL connection. The service on it doesn't seem that bad going from Telus user to Telus user VoIP wise I'm finding. I wish one could buy a "QoS" capable connection from them where they do simple priority on say DSCP EF packets - anyone know if thats possible? Funny you should talk about the Portable Internet (The Black 802.16d quasi e Wimax box?).. both that, and the data service they offer on mobiles, backhaul all the way to Toronto - which makes any sort of real time voice service utterly useless. My Iphone, I was attempting to use a SIP client on - if I go a block away from my house, I of course loose Wifi, and then the SIP client jumps to the 3G network. From some tracing I did from the phone, it appears the Gateway (Whatever its called in GSM) that does basically mobile IP from my phone to it, is down in Toronto. Reading some of the other forums, there is much discussion about how SIP/VoIP won't ever work well over 3G - I wonder how much that would change, if say Rogers had a local gateway, instead of shipping traffic back and forth accross the country 2-3 times. Anyone on this list know, where Globealive (Wind) or Telus GSM service(s) gateways will be? I'm not totally in the loop on how the data moves on a GSM phone but have some basic info.. excuse me for my stupidity if I have said something wrong...
