I’ve been reading about the Hawkins broadband booster and other VoIP-enhancing devices (those gizmos that prioritize voice packets over data packets over a broadband Internet connection to reduce latency and improve VoIP quality). My VoIP connection sounds fine to me, but broken to most of my callers to the point of annoyance in some business conversations. Any recommendations?

I have a router from Lingo, and a AirCard from Sprint. It worked great with cable, but I got rid of cable due to problems of connectivity all of the time!!!!!! So someone please help!!!!

I have a 400ft run of buried broadband cable running down my driveway. When I connect the VoIP TAD unit to my cable modem and listen to a phone I have plugged into the TAD I hear the dial tone but very clearly also hear a Spanish rock station. I’m guessing that the long run is causing my cable line to behave like an antenna but I don’t know how to filter it out. Any ideas are appreciated.
I most likely should have added earlier that this is my second cable. The first was the wrong type for that long of a run. Sorry about that.

We currently have Brink’s security system and pay Comcast for a VOIP line for the security system to use. We don’t use that line for anything else and I feel that it is a waste of money. Is there any types of home security system that works through broadband or wi-fi? Thanks.

My parents live with me and my family, and they have trouble understanding English when it comes to answering the phone. I suggested to them not to answer the phone, but they didn’t like that idea. I talked to my husband about this. He didn’t know the answer to this either. Our current telephone subscription is VOIP, and I want a second VOIP telephone line. Is this possible?
