VOIP Advantages?

[Mark Mellott]

I just had a telephony modem installed in my house by the
new telephone service provider I selected. My phone
service is now voice over internet protocol (VOIP) using
the same coaxial cable for my television service. The
twisted pair wiring for my phones and my dial-up
connection to the internet remains the same. I did,
however, get about a 20% performance boost in my dial-up
connection speed which is now at a constant 48Kbps.
Still short of what my 56Kbps dial-up modem is capable of
but better than the 40 to 42Kbps I was getting.

How can I squeeze more performance out of what I now have?

You are using a dial-up modem on your VoIP box? Why don't you get
broadband from your cable company, in addition to your voice service?
