compare voip

When you compare voip against analogue or time-division-multiplexing you might be forgiven for assuming that the quality of your telecoms is going to be better.  It’s very true that TDM is far superior to analog in that it suppresses noise effectively and you get much clearer speech reception.

But to compare voip transmission today with what it was like in its infancy in the 1990s and what it will be in the 2020s is akin to comparing different cheeses.  They are all edible but some you won’t be able to palette.  Why?  In the early days to compare voip was easy – it was poor – most conversations were noisy and broken and frequently dropped out altogether.  In the future the bandwidths of all routes will expand so that voice and data traffic do not impinge on each other.

Unfortunately as this article is written we can compare voip inside a business with that passing over the internet.  Internally the network is closely controlled and the IT manager ensures your voip telephone calls are good.  They cannot guarantee them over your broadband circuits.  Probably 90% will be excellent, but the other 10% leave a great deal to be desired.
