Ip Phone Equipment, rogers internet problem

Edwards Finance > Phones

Q. Anyone notice a problem with their Rogers internet connection this morning? Have a completely new ip (first in 9 months) and everything is DAMN slow.

A. Yea, whole new subnet. I noticed the IP change this morning, and reconfigured my natd config so I could surf some web on the windows boxes sitting behind my FreeBSD box. I'm running into the same issues others here mentioned. Can't seem to connect to 80/21/22 on the home- front. I am able to connect from work to ports 80 and 22 on my home server with the new 99 address, but it is very slow. Also, outgoing to some web sites is almost unusable. No, it is a digital signal. It is carried by the same carrier mechanism that brings analogue or digital cable. An IP phone would have an ip address, and would packetize voice into an rtp stream and use sip or a proprietary call control method. There is no routing through any IP network (not in the access portion) the backhaul may very well be XoIP as are many phone carriers. Rogers are providing a similar service to Aliant's POTS service over coax cable rather than twisted pair copper. I would trust Jason's word over anything you can dig up on the internet. I know Jason, as do many others... the fact that he is one of the most capable networking consultants in the province and actually works in the telecom industry gives a little more credence that your posted articles... If it was, you would plug all the phones into an ATA adapter, like Vonage. If it was, the analogue voice would be converted to IP and carried to a softswitch/tdm switch with an ip front end. In fact I believe Rogers use the DMS platform as does BELL. (Correct me if I am wrong on that.) If it was, a whole bunch more features would be leveraged than Rogers are right now. If it was, you would need ROgers high speed internet to use it. You need basic cable infrastructure, not an ip connection. The articles you posted are correct. It is not Voip Service. They state that emphatically. Did you read those? Sorry dude, if I didn't know enough about SS7 or H323 or SIP for example I would back down and read up on it, but I eat, sleep and breathe this stuff for a living. I work for Aliant, but am not bashing the Rogers' service.(Or Eastlink's for that matter.) It is a viable competitive offering to Aliant's, but it is not VoIP.
