Need info on what internet phone service will work with HughesSatelite internet?

Question

I have the newest modem for home service with high speeds at download at 600+ and upload at 300+..

Answer 1

Internet phones don't work well with satellite because of the lag time created by the data having to travel all the way into outer space and back down to earth.

Answer 3

I use SunRocket and they only require a 120 kbps download/upload speed. They are also cheaper than services like Vonage. I pay $199/year (USD) which works out to be less than $17/month (USD). Service has worked well for me. I've even taken it overseas with me and used it as an inexpensive way to dial back home. Only situation that presented a problem was when I tried to use it on a network where I needed to enter a proxy server (the "Gizmo" didn't have an option to enter that info).

Answer 4

Orphan Annie ... I cannot answer your question directly. HOWEVER, I worry a bit that those speeds may be a bit too slow for good phone service. I hope I'm wrong, but I hope you'll remember to check with the phone service providers you contact to ask what the minimum speed requirements are. Also, since a phone service provider may be trying to entice you to join, don't forget that if your Hughes connection provides just the minimum speed that the phone provider requires, the quality/clarity of the connection may suffer.

Good luck with it.
