So are the numbers I call. It just so happens that most of them are also
Sipgate numbers. Right here on planet Earth.

You're partly correct, most of the people I call *are* friends who joined
Sipgate on my advice. However there was no "cajoling" involved and I don't
think any of them are dissatisfied with the service, if they are they
haven't told me.

Quote me numbers, Ron. Give me proof that what you say is true. Point me
in the direction of documented evidence that more people are dissatisfied
with Sipgate than are not. You don't even know how many customers they
have, so how can you..?

Put your money where your mouth is, Ron. If you can *prove* beyond
reasonable doubt that what you say is true then I will admit it, but as
you won't be able to (quite simply because it isn't) just shut up.

Hi Fred, I've only had the service up and running for a couple of days. I
have to say the call quality is excellent I have made a number of calls and
asked the person on the other end of the line what the audio is like and
they all say it's as good as if I was calling from a normal line.

Thanks again Phil. That is good news indeed. However, due to the number of
pc's we have in our house we all have to connect via a wireless router. Do
you have your adapter connected to a router and if so how is the adapter
configured? (I have a Linksys WRTG54 connected to Cable modem with Freetalk
adapter running from router with no QOS in place-having QOS on caused call
quality issues previously).
Fred.

I have a Zoom X5V modem/router. I just plugged the Vonage adaptor into one
of the ports on the modem/router. It worked straight away. It's already
configured for your account there was no set up necessary.

Hi Phil
Does your Zoom X5V modem/router have QOS as standard and if so have you
configured it at all or just left it off?
Thanks
