Is your Broadband internet connection speed suitible for VOIP internet phone telephony? Most DSL and Cable internet packages can easily handle the rather low-fidelity, low demands of voice communication. But just how RELIABLE is your data rate? That matters to avoid dropouts, cut-outs and disconnects on a VOIP or Skype for Mac
video chat or voice call.
Try this web browser based VOIP Connection Speed Test - courtesy of www.voipreview.com - to see how your line quality performs for voice and video connections. This VOIP speed test can optionally show you Jitter, Packet Loss, Quality Of Service (QOS), and other geeky metrics to give you a snapshot of the overall reliability you can expect for your internet communications applications.
Particularly for DSL users where bandwidth is often sold in different price and speed tiers -- your low-cost 'Starter' DSL 'Home' package may be slower than you think. Especially with differences in Download vs Upload speed and the susceptibility to phone-line noise, DSL data rates tend to be a bit more inconsistent than Cable.
Those at home or work sharing your connection over Airport WiFi or through a Router may also be contending and competing with other users on your local network. You may find your VOIP experience a bit more erratic than having a dedicated direct connection to your DSL or Cable modem going into your Mac.
