Goverment levy to pay for upgrade to the nations broadband
50p a month per fixed phone line.

Expect it will be plus vat so another tax hike. 

Will need to get my VOIP line fixed

Broadband. Ha you lucky people. Try using dial up via an analogue modem for four years via the useless Telefonica (I am an uncaring monopoly)

[Pace]

True Mr Pace but it gets very cold (have seen minus 10 on the car) in winter.

So, I will go away and weigh up the pros and cons!

For every action, there will always be an opposite reaction.

Government adds another 50p to my phone line rental every month, I add another invoice for £5 every month in to my tax returns.....simples.

Surely it should go on the ISP? Why should little old granny have to pay for it, probably ain't got a 'puter.

Sorry, but if you chose to live in the back end of nowhere, thats your choice. Accept your 512k speeds. Or move.

Voip is truely shite.....our fixed lines at work are all voip and now dont get used due to the lack of consistency in the call quality.

There are quite a few parts of the country that don't have broadband, and they ain't the back of beyond either.

If anybody needs the kick up the backside, it should be BT.

Well they are not going to upgrade the exchange/concentrator/mux unless the buisness case is present to support it now are they!

Ours at work work really well to be honest.  Personally, I've kept on the meridian rather than the Cisco VoIP stuff due to lack of confidence in it.

I support some of the voice quality reporting servers, so do get to see the quality reports and thresholds for various companies, and its mostly really good.

I am a fairly big home user of proper VoIP (not Skype shite), and this is 'OK' considering where I call (often Canada).  I think it is improving.


But it still has fundamental flaws, always will due to inherent IP weaknesses
