I had set-up my call forward from POTS to VoIP and when LNP kicked in, I had no downtime whatsoever. We'll see how attractive the proposal to switch to VoIP will be on May 12 when the CRTC releases its decision on VoIP. -=Francois=- Mark,

Easy for Rogers to diss their competitors - just wait, they dont have a 5mps pipe as far as I know. The way I see it the biggest impact upon VOIP QOS is the 'bad' days on Cogeco when the speed is down to 2mps or less (by the way the top speed I ve ever seen is 4.4mps). Nobody ever mentions this - but it is my favourite thing - you are off-the-grid to telemarketing calls! I have found that Primus is fantastic on conference calls (4 others plus the intiator) so simple and nobody has ever said I didnt hear that or what did you just say. It is a powerful service at the right price.
