Back Again With Voice Breaking Up at the Other End..I give up

[tritch]

Good suggestions given "voipinit"..........

Problems with choppy voice can almost always be attributed to network congestion. In your case it sounds like upstream congestion on your end, since the other caller hears the chop. If the the upstream congestion is within your own network, you may want to consider setting up QOS within your router or alleviate any other Internet activity during your call. It's most likely congestion outside of your control (high latency, high jitter, bandwidth saturation, etc.) with your ISP (Comcast) especially during the peak hours of 4pm-11pm. The best way to test this is to take your ATA over to one of your family/friend's house who are on another ISP and hook it up there. Test it again and see what happens. Voipo has no control over your ISP congestion problems......

BTW, my dad also has Voipo and experiences choppy calls during 4pm-11pm. Like clockwork, every night his upstream connection goes downhill. His cable ISP recently oversold his area about 6 months ago and just about every night the chop starts up. He doesn't hear any chop, but the other callers do. He can take his ATA over to my house and the chop is completely gone.....
