I have DSL that 1.5mbs.

Is that fast enought to use VOIP and not run into alot of problems. I know you would have to be worried about both your up and down speeds. I have heard some say VOIP works great while others say that the service drops their calls or that they have poor quality. I am thinking about using VOIP to add an additional phone line to my small business so that I can call out for free as well in the US. Can I rely of the service or should I stick with a traditional land line? Also does anyone know of a cheap landline long distance placn?

    I think that should be enough. I have had VOIP for last 3 years, initially I had few issues but now since the networks quality has improved, it is much better.

    256 kbps (niet mbps, geen dergelijk ding nog) zullen het doen. Om het even wat boven dat en u kan de computer op Internet gebruiken terwijl op de telefoon VoIP en heeft geen daling outs.
    Mijn telefoon VoIP is zo duidelijk zoals mijn landlijn, zelfs wanneer sprekend aan mensen in Europa (kan aan 17 landen over daar vrij spreken)
