| 805073 | 2009-08-29 04:00:00 | Hi, can any person advise as to the percentage of people who may now be using VoIP instead of the normal broadBand which cuts out telecom. | kountryken (14110) | ||
| 805074 | 2009-08-29 06:40:00 | Maybe you can clarify your question? VoIP runs on a 'normal' Broadband service. Some of us have a 'normal' broadband connection which includes a VoIP telephone (e.g. xnet). We may or may not also have a Telecom phone line. So some of us have two phone lines. |

| 805077 | 2009-08-29 09:50:00 | Well, taking a local sample, 100% of me is a VOIP user. (Although my feet are not heavy users. They share my mouth's connection because that's where they are most of the time.) Xnet Fusion, which is naked ADSL. |

| 805078 | 2009-08-29 11:03:00 | You're talking about two different things here: 1) VoIP is used to make Telephone calls 2) You ask who uses VoIP instead of Broadband, which doesn't really make sense. VoIP runs *over* a broadband connection usually. As to actual numbers in terms of people using VoIP without any Telecom phone lines, I dont know? I do know that you can get a 2talk / VFX number and run it over a Telecom broadband connection in exactly the same way you can run it over a naked DSL connection, so I'd personally suggest it would be damn near impossible to tell :-/ Lets just say "lots of people" are ;-) Which brings us to the interesting part, why do you ask? |

| 805079 | 2009-08-29 23:57:00 | Sorry all. Right, my wife and I have for some time wanting to get rid of the Telecom charges $49 a month. We are already using the Xnet river plan $31 a month which needs the Telecom switch board from Nelson. We are thinking seriously of purchasing the ata box and going onto Xnet fusion $69. And were asking the question I suppose, what is the popularity of the Raw broard band | kountryken (14110) | ||
| 805080 | 2009-08-30 00:04:00 | It is VERY popular with me. And not just because of the ABT feature ;) |

| 805081 | 2009-08-30 00:21:00 | I have two VFX lines. Saves me about $130 a month in phone bills, but the reliability is NOT as good as a Telecom or Telstraclear line. That may be my TelstraClear internet mostly at fault, of course. We don't have a physical phone line at all due to cable internet. |
