voip long distance

A voip long distance call is much cheaper than dialling by PSTN.  A voip long distance conversation such as Skype is very prevalent in the private domain.  In the business community voip long distance connections now enable home workers to be a part of their head office by using their broadband circuit with an IP-phone connected into their router.

The downside with voip long distance is that there is no control of the voice prioritation routes across the country, or world.  Due to this fact it is more than probable that the voip long distance conversations are likely to loose words or have interference.  In a LAN VoIP is closely controlled and good quality speech results between extensions.

So the use of voip long distance calling should be currently restricted to non-client communications.  With the advent of SIP, voip long distance calls are routed specifically through QOS classified networks.  The BT-21st-Century-Network is continually being rolled out and hopefully by the end of 2011 the whole of the UK will be covered.  Then we believe voip long distance will be far better.
