VoIP Bandwidth

It doesn't really work that way. It's all about what else they are doing. You can do solid VoIP at 50Kb/s. Bandwidth is not at all the issue.

@dustinb3403 said in VoIP Bandwidth:
The bandwidth requirements for VoIP is so trivial that unless they are getting substantially slower than dial up speeds for an remote site, that this shouldn't even be a concern.
Well no, you realistically need dial up speeds at least

I did say "substantially slower"

Aren't latency and jitter the most likely concerns with remote users? Assuming they have the standard minimum speed available?

Yes, those are the real concerns but it is not within the users or @EddieJennings control to fix these issues. These are for the ISP to address.

Exactly, which I think should be part of establishing realistic expectations along with communicating minimum requirements for speed. Would hate to have remote users expect to have VoIP available but it turns out to be unusable.

Yes, and packet loss like you see on Comcast networks all of the time.

What you really want is end users to generate MOS scores from home.

Packet loss or packet theft. . . with Comcast you can't be certain. . .

What do you recommend for that?

Pingtest.net used to be great but they got rid of it
-
I don't have a good tool for that right now, maybe @JaredBusch has one that he likes?
-
Here is some interesting information.
-
Back from lunch. I agree with the idea of finding a tool that users can run to generate a MOS.
-
This seems interesting: https://sourceforge.net/speedtest/ (EDITED)
-
@eddiejennings The test you linked is from sourceforge
-
@dustinb3403 So it is
-
-
4.4 here as well.

@dashrender said in VoIP Bandwidth:
Where did you run that test? From the SF.net link that was posted?
