Default VOIP System: Often when I call out and called party picks up, I get busy signal.

Not conflating mobiles with VOIP are you? Mobiles go from bad to
unuseable with excessive delay. Our VOIP has minimal delay (and I
suspect most of that is our interleaved ADSL), Bandwidth more than

No bother here Dave, in fact call quality on 4G via Vodafone is very
good indeed..


Is that native 4G mobile calls or VOIP over 4G data? Of the four
network operators only EE provide 4G, 3 might from their cell (note
singular), Vodafone is 3G and 02 2G!

But even then you have to be upstairs, by a window, on the right side
of the house to stand a chance of having a succesfull mobile phone
call. 50 yds down the road - NO SIGNAL. No saturation coverage here
like you get in towns and cities. People drive up from the village
and park across the road to make phone calls... Strangers to the area
get a bit of shock when their phone doesn't work and their full
postcode GPS plonks them in the middle of a field 1/2 a mile from any
building. B-)
