To ensure ideal voice quality, QOS must be present at every junction throughout the service provider’s network. This ensures that voice packets receive priority over other types of data. Where QOS is not present, voice packets have no priority over other data. This often results in latency and jitter. Latency and jitter negatively impact voice quality. Most tier 1 providers can now ensure QOS throughout their systems. This costs money however, thus tier 1 VOIP quotes are often a bit higher priced then VOIP services which simply plug into the public internet. Internet VOIP can often offer the many valuable features sought by end users, and lower phone costs, such as $45. per month for unlimited local and long distance service to the continental US and Canada. However, QOS cannot be assured across the public internet. So although an end user can control the QOS throughout their local network, once voice packets reach the internet, QOS can no longer be assured, so voice quality is inconsistent. As the authorized agents for the 22 largest providers in the country, we can provide comparative price quotes for any type of VOIP, or bandwidth, you might need.
