ZuG Posted March 28, 2005 CID Share Posted March 28, 2005 I'm joining the Peace Corps, which is going to put me somewhere in remote Latin America. I've been considering direcway with VoIP. Are the latency times too horrible for VoIP with DirecWay? I'm reading a lot of horrible things about them.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aggr3 Posted March 28, 2005 CID Share Posted March 28, 2005 Hey ZuG ..welcome to the forum......and if you can make VoIP work on Dway....well you might be the first... latency is only part of it.....the very slow upload is a bigger factor...there some post in the Dway thread...check them out...

ZuG Posted March 28, 2005 Author CID Share Posted March 28, 2005 Won't work at all, or will be spotty? The alternative is no internet/phone service at all, so even spotty/shoddy service will be better than nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aggr3 Posted March 28, 2005 CID Share Posted March 28, 2005 HEY I'm in the central US...and that's what I get...spotty shoddy service... Just kidding....it would depend on how well you could hit the sat from your location.....and then again...who's gonna install it. Dway says it can only be commissioned by a certified installer....

ZuG Posted March 29, 2005 Author CID Share Posted March 29, 2005 There are authorized South American reselletrs. I assume I'd get it from one of them. Not that i'm not capable of installing it myself, mind you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
