Make sure you check you internet connection first

When you use the internet, you are usually concerned only with speed. But with voice over ip (VOIP) other parameters also matter. We have a cable modem which delivers 7 MBps download and 1 MBps upload: better than requirements and better than average. Yet, with our Ooma device, often people complain that the sound coming from our side is choppy and unintelligible. I called Ooma tech support and they asked me what the jitter was. You can check this parameter by going to http://myvoipspeed.visualware.com/ and selecting the "VoIP Quality Test". A jitter of < 5 ms is required by Ooma. Well, the jitter we experience is anywhere from 1 ms to 67 ms depending on the time of day and other traffic on the internet. Our ISP, Charter cable, doesn't support jitter performance so there is no remedy.
What's great about it: Elegant design
What's not so great: Very dependent on insternet connection quality
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
