sparky Posted January 25, 2009 CID Share Posted January 25, 2009 Just in case anyone with EV-DO is wondering, you can run VOIP like Vonage over EV-DO. I have hooked up my Vonage and it is running sweet over my EV-DO USB modem, I have set the option to use low quality and it still sounds like a normal phone line. I called my Dad in England and talked with him for 45 minutes and he said it sounded like I was in the room next to him! I am pretty impressed with Vonage If anyone needs help setting it up, let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dn0 Posted January 25, 2009 CID Share Posted January 25, 2009 Impressive. I would have thought the latency would be a bit too high for a decent voip call with any wireless data carrier. My Sprint EVDO service generally has a ping time to anything on the web around 130-170ms. sparky, post a "tracert testmy.net" and also a "ping testmy.net" back here. I am curious if your wireless latency is better than what I normally get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The latency on most of my tests normally comes back low, not sure where testmy.net servers are but I did notice they are hosted on theplanet servers. Anyway, when I am on a call I noticed no issues at all, it was like talking on a regular phone and seeing as this is sort of new to me and EV-DO I did some tests on data usage as I know some of you have a cap at 5GB, I also have this supposed cap but they do not enforce it. Last night I left the EV-DO modem connected all night to see what usage it would do over night with just the vonage adapter using the service, I was surprised to see it sent out 1.2 Mb of data (Keep Alives) and received some 603Kb of data and this was in a 10 hour period. Even when on a call it was using 30Kbps and really did not use that much data in 45 minutes, I am unsure of the figures but it was very little. No ECHO, No Dropping of packets, everything was clear to my surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saygoodie Posted January 25, 2009 CID Share Posted January 25, 2009 i played xbox live with my cell phone, which uses EV-DO. I could talk to multiple people and it was clear too, and i only had two bars of signal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
