In the SFWIW category, I bought into the MagicJack package a couple
of months ago.

It performs as advertised.



My BIL looked into that but now uses a free internet program, all you
need to buy is a web cam.


I'm curious what people are experiencing in quality with voice over the
public internet. It's not the ideal transport.



My BIL swears by it, he got rid of his regular telephone land line and uses
a dumbed down DSL of sorts, it runs at 756 mbps IIRC, and he uses it for
conference calls with an attorney that he works with, they both use it, to
avoid cell phone usage.


If you've got any kind of broadband the problem with voice would be
latency, not bandwidth.
