Yes. Giveaway was that we ordered a home (or whatever) it is called
line that should only have been syncing at 400ish K

Our line was syncing at 800ish K. Also bt_test@startup_domain (or
whatever it is) wasn't working at all, implying another operator.

The BT engineer who came pretty much confirmed the story.

Hi,


On a general point...

VoIP is not very demanding and quite resilient so it is not hard for it to
work well / easy to make it work poorly, etc.


Best wishes,

P.s. Nasty traffic controls or blocking would be the real candidates for
avoiding. Contention or congestion would have to meet some pretty amazing
levels for it to SERIOUSLY affect VoIP (particularly if you are happy with
GSM, etc.).
