I'm wondering if anyone knows of ISPs with service that has QoS features that would be good to use with VoIP stuff. Granted, the QoS would only be supported as long as you stayed within their network, but it might be better than nothing. --Eric
I am not sure where you are, but in general I have had incredibly good luck between networks regionaly. I have found, though quality does vary somewhat during the call, there isn't a need for QoS feature support in the network. What problems are you experiencing?

The only case where QoS is useful is on tail-end circuits. Everywhere else, having bigger pipes is much more preferable to QoS. -alex On Fri, 7 Mar 2003, Eric Wieling wrote:> I'm wondering if anyone knows of ISPs with service that has QoS > features that would be good to use with VoIP stuff.

A modern switch can also use DiffServ, so that might make it possible for you to tag your VoIP packets into a higher queue. All of this will require a certain deal of cooperation at your ISP though :-) Florian
