Has anyone tried Woosh for Voip type programmes like SKYPE , Echolink , CQ Phone and PAL Talk ? Most are poor on dialup and was interested if any drop out via Woosh ?
they seem to work fine with the 256K UBS plan via Orcon ISP
The real issue with VoIP is not so much the bandwidth but the latency. It's been pretty much established that the latency (ping times) on Woosh are much higher than they want which = crap VoIP. This is the prime reason why Woosh can only tell us about how great their phone service is and not actually deliver a product to market! I believe Skype works reasonably well but at the end of the day it's a case of experimentation and what you consider "working well", some people are happy to put up with echo etc to get a free call, others aren't.

Stick with Orcon, you'll regret moving to "woosh"
Their only saving grace is their no need to have a home-line at $40 a month. if you DO have one, use that, it's much cheaper and much more reliable and the support from a decent company like
orcon is superb.
I have skype'd on woosh... put simply..... HORRIBLE......... it works much much better on my harrier pocketPC from Telecom, even on standard 1x (not T3G)
I have had mixed results with dial-up on skype. seems to work a lot better on some providers than others.
