Cable vs. Wireline

This is good. Not that I have any interest in Cablevision, nevertheless they did respond to a negative related to their service. Others found "guilty" of over promising and pursuant to this agreement delivering will find it difficult to sell in an increasingly competitive market. Comcast, the largest cable provider of VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) services needs to keep its focus on offering VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) to businesses not television services. When I am at work here at Broadvox, I am only impressed by great voice quality and blazing Internet speeds. I have little use for the 150 "most in-demand" cable/TV networks.

However, using cable to provide VoIP continues to lag the quality of traditional access and broadband. Consider that Verizon advertises their FiOS based business phone line service as 99.9% reliable. Undoubtedly, not how they before advertised their wireline/TDM business services. Moreover incredible is there is very little cost savings. The Freedom for Business product is more than double our GO! SIP Trunking offering. Nevertheless I digress. I have had AT&T U-verse for just over a year and other than not being able to see every NFL game, I am very pleased with the service.

The cable companies

As more peering arrangements are completed between the cable companies and ITSPs to support BYOB and improved QoS, I’ll tout using cable for business phone communications. For now, I’ll say they are improving.
