VoIP straight answers please.

OK no ! You can set up an IPC account on a router and create another account behind it, it called 'Multiple session routing' So effectively you have an ISP account on your router and a direct link into your providers MPLS, its by no means the perfect situation , but still way better than running your voice on open internet and playing with QoS tables inside the router.

Which routers support this?

Can u not do vibe on Adsl?
Problem is that I have 3 locations and diginet will be costly.

Hi Tron
We can supply you a 4 channel ADSL line with ipc account and vibe licenses for R299 per month ex vat. We sell an ADSL and ViBE router combo kit for R899 ex vat. There is a once off setup and config fee of R 499 ex vat per line. Note we only offer this service to Euphoria PBX clients.

You will need a standard Telkom line that we will convert to ADSL and manage on your behalf.

We give the line the best possible chance of working, but if you have bad quality, it is a result of a weak ADSL line, not us. We have hundreds of clients using ADSL successfully most of the time, just remember there are no guarantees with ADSL, it is a best effort service.

Best Regards
George

That being said it is a horrible idea to run VoIP and normal internet traffic on one line. You need as much upload speed as possible and even with proper QoS it is dodgy on a shared ADSL. ADSL by itself is getting more and more congested and we have found ourselves moving customers over to 512Kb Diginet connections that terminate on the SAIX National Plus IP net in a lot of areas (specifically Pretoria).

We provide these Diginet connections to our customer for about R700 per month which allows them do to up to 20 concurrent calls. The only downside is installation costs but if you are willing to buy a second hand Cisco X.21 router you can get away with an install cost of about R4k. DEFINITELY WORTH IT! The SAIX National Plus connection offer uncontended A-side connections using Diginet and very low contention (10:1 tops) on the IP net.
