I’m very impressed with the QoS that is provides despite the fact that I have just DSL.

If a network is properly implemented with Diffserv, MPLS and other QoS enhancing network tools a VoIP network has significant advantages over the PSTN. Once power backup is installed on IP servers availability of VoIP will go up considerably.

Take for instance hurricane Katrina, the only way the Mayor of New Orleans could call the president with long distance was with Vonage. It’s because of the single points of failure in the PSTN. Since IP is self healing it was able to properly route the call.

As a VoIP user of 1NetCalling (1NetCalling.com), I get QoS, great features and if there is an outage (which I have not had) my service forwards to me cell phone. The features alone justify the service. But saving 48% on my voice costs is huge. There most people will love VoIP and once they’ve tried it will never want anything less.
