      Anyone ever use ooma for VoIP at home? My friend does and swears by it. Apparently you pay for the appliance and like 2-3$ a month for the taxes of having a phone number and that's it.

      So cheap to have a full PBX, as IT folks, why consider anything else? voip.ms plus a hosted FreePBX instance is super powerful, great learning, so many more features and so important for your career, why look at consumer services when you can go to full enterprise for barely more money (couple extra dollars?)

      I wouldn't buy it but i think its kind of nice for non-tech people to come into this century

      Only concern is that it is a router and takes over your network.

      Well, it's suppose to, but often does work behind a NAT router, which is what it's doing in my Doc's case.

      QoS is lost when you do that, though 😞

      Are you making fun of me?
      LOL

      No, it actually is.

      The router between ooma and the internet, if it has throughput problems, then it's time for an upgrade... I definitely don't want all of my traffic being reported to ooma.

          WANs aren't like LANs. The "upgrade your LAN until you never run low on bandwidth" issue does not apply to WAN links. LANs can pretty trivially go to 20Gb/s and if you need 40Gb/s you can afford to do it. And you can get to 80Gb/s even on a personal budget. No one needs more than 80Gb/s and can't afford to get more.

          WAN is totally different. Often the fastest links aren't that fast and even really fast links can pretty easily get bottlenecked. Even here on fiber with 120Mb/s, we can casually saturate that. There is nothing faster in 99% of Texas. So QoS still matters. Maybe if you get to 1Gb/s links you can start to buy more bandwidth to get past issues, but realistically you want QoS on your telephony WAN links if you can do it. And QoS is a touted feature of Ooma.

          Getting "enough" bandwidth to make QoS unneeded or rarely needed is a good step, but even with fast links you want it when possible. Is it the solution to all of your problems? Definitely not.

                    why would she even care? unless it was about money...

                    What will she use for wireless?

                      That's odd. Good that she knows that she doesn't need it. Amazing that she does not.
