The 8MB service has a higher push rate which must help.
If I understand the technology correctly, voice is pretty low bandwidth - something like a 22k sampling rate or perhaps less. monophonic, 4k-12kHz. But it's extremely sensitive to timing: the beginning of a word ought to arrive before the end. Packets need some "Quality of Service" or QoS to avhieve this and not be muscled out by other traffic. Giving more overall bandwidth helps (less collisions with the same traffic on an 8-lane road than a single lane), but there's another factor of actually prioritizing the traffic. That's part of what the Net Neutraility fight in the US is about: providers want to boost the priority of their premium services, which sidelines competitors, leaving them running on the soft shoulder. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
