Experience.  And I work as a VoIP developer for a VoIP solutions
company, so it is educated experience as well.

That clearly wasn't my experience at home.  I do see VoIP work on
controlled networks everyday.  But a home user has no control over the
network their traffic crosses.  Home users are at the mercy (with no
SLA) of their ISP and their ISP's ISP, etc.

Wrong?  Or just not what you've seen.  That is my opinion above and I
still stand by it.

Wow, what kind of cut+copy+paste job is this? Are you addressing me or
Michael?
