Thanks. My concern is actually about the ADSL rather than the VOIP. There
have been reports that the Fritz 7140, whilst having ADSL2+ does not sync
well with O2/Be. The firmware upgrade to version 39.04.47 did claim to
improve connections to some ISPs and so might have solved this problem. Are
you using the 7140 or 7170 with updated firmware.

As far as VOIP is concerned, it works very well on my 1 Mbps Pipex
connection and like you I have more than one VOIP number working really
well.

I have not yet completed signing up with O2 and selected them because of
good reviews. If my Fritz Box is going to be a problem then I shall choose
someone else.
