If you can get yourself a decent ADSL line, that's reliable, and a good solid router (Not some cheap crap that most ISP's give away free), then you can do faxing and calling through the likes of the Linksys SPA2102. |

Re: diff ISPs. Dunno about those high user plans. I can attest that with Xnet's standard plans, Actrix and Clear, they are pretty much the same - performance wise. As witnessed by myself, the issue might be your lines, but then it is almost impossible to fix that unless you have a best mate who is a Chorus Tech, :D Because if the landline is fine - no static and they do a line check and it comes out fine, in major cities you would get acceptable but not the best internet speed. Like I got 3Mbit static free, but then I got heaps of static (it wouldn't connect) the guy put us on a temp connection and it jumped to 5.75Mbits :p |

| 1117217 | 2010-07-11 10:49:00 | Generally speaking VOIP or naked ADSL is not free. You are paying about $20-25 for it per month. That is, if a typical ADSL connection plan is $50 per month. You may also pay $45 for the landline. But, if you took up nADSL you are not just $50, you are prob paying around $75 for nADSL. They give you a local number, you have the option to keep your former/current number and some of it you get free local calls, some ISPs don't give you that ... The higher plans of Telstra cable internet (not ADSL) and any Woosh Wireless are two solutions that are absolutely free but they don't give you a landline number. |

| 1117218 | 2010-07-11 15:04:00 | I sometimes talk on the phone with my father on Xnet's Voip line while playing Left 4 dead 2 or world of warcraft and I haven't noticed in any degrade in quality. Speed is pretty ok with me . I use to get major lags at night but it's been pretty good now for the past 3 months |
