Re: A Little Info For Anybody Considering Voip over NTL 1Mbps
 

I have been using voip for some time now with NTL's 2Mb & 10Mb teirs, and I can say it works perfectly. The sound quality is no different to a normal landline and it does infact cost less!

this is most likely a router fault/issue - make sure you have port forwarding on.

5060 to 5061 - forward to the ip address of your voip adaptor
16384 to 16482 - forward to the ip address of your voip adaptor

I jumped to freetalk VOIP www.freetalk.co.uk

Stopped paying ntl line rental and talk unlimited which was approx £25.00 per month. Just kept the BB package

My last three months bills from with freetalk were. £3.96/£1.96/£2.70 :) :) :)

I have had the same problem with sipgate, they were very unreliable!

I now use voipfone.co.uk who are great, only snag is you have to pay £1.99 for a local geo number but hey I don't mind paying a little extra for a great product with great CS/support!

Ta for the tip. I'll give them a try.

I assume the Voip adapter is UpnP complient as I havent opened any ports and it works fine (well as I said previously, it does sometimes!)

If it does work, and no ports have been forwarded, it must handle that itslef via UpnP?

No... sorry.. :)

My meaning was not pointed at your post, and im sorry if you read it as such.

Sipgate had been mentioned, i am using sipgate and have no problems like others were.

My meaning:
The use of "average consumer" was determining the amount of experimentation level, not the amount of grey matter. Implication being the usual factor of time and or inclination.
My thinking was that of; When most people the buy a product, they would just like to plug it in etc.. and it will work from the outset or then rightly bang their fist on the shop counter etc. This is my understanding of the term "average consumer" and im sorry if it does not meet with yours.

Like i said i nearly tossed it all in... but am glad i didnt... Now :D
Even with all my wifes complaints during the the two months it took to get it right... and she is niether "Deaf" or has "expectations that are below those of the "average consumer". :D
