This is davevonage. Since I am new to the forum and don't know how to respond to all of you who have addressed my issue thus far. I found out from Comcast that for $10 per month over the $43/month we already pay them for being our ISP,they can increase my speed to over 700 kbps from the 365kbps. They are coming out with their own VOIP in June, 2005 and will address the sound quality at that time. They agree that they will not be able to sell the product by forcing people to pay more for their regular high speed internet service so they will probably have to increase the residential speed for free to accomodate. I'm going to sit it out UNLESS SOMEONE CAN TELL ME HOW I CAN GET INCREASED UPLOAD SPEED BYPASSING COMCAST??

Attempting to initiate Vonage's VOIP. We have Comcast as our ISP. Attempted to use phone setup and sound is hollow with a bit of static vs. land line with AT&T. Vonage says that the upload bandwidth speed is the problem. I can't believe that the entire Comcast cable system can't support the VOIP technology providing the same or better sound quality. When Vonage indicated that I should lower the sound quality monitor on my account, the sound was even worse. What can I do?? How can I get 5 stars on upload test?? Recent test results:
