I'm a new WildBlue user and am using ViaTalk's VoIP with a Linksys PAP2 adapter they provided free. Did not work at first, until I got the port forwarding set correctly on my router. Now works great! Sure, there is some latency inherent over satellite voice communications (ever watch live feeds on CNN?) I am very satisfied with the overall performance and voice quality and feature set of the service. Especially since everyone said that VoIP wouldn't work over a consumer-grade satellite broadband connection. What sort of problems did you have with Packet8.net? What hardware were you using as your RJ-11 voice adapter?

Downloads on WildBlue are performing well, also... Also Love my new VoIP connection with ViaTalk supplied Linksys PAP2 adapter and the most features of any VoIP provider... works great over WildBlue.
