You’re going to want a broadband connection that’s at least 90 kbps in both directions, upstream and downstream. Anything slower than this will result in very poor call quality; dialup service is not fast enough, and some satelite services do not have the up speed to support the phone service.

When considering an ISP provider, don’t forget to ask about average jitter, packet loss, and round-trip times for customers in your area. These can give even the fastest connection an unacceptable quality rating for VOIP. You can find out how VOIP Phone will sound and if it will work for you over at mySpeed.com.

Your outbound calling WILL NOT work.

Even though companies like Hughes Net claim to be Broadband. The UPSPEED is not fast enough to handle outbound voice, meaning all of your phone calls will result in choppy calling problems
