VoIP no more

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2005.04.20

After weeks of frustrating dead calls*, weird audio effects, interruptions to our network service, and voice quality that is considerably poorer than even Skype can manager, we've decided to pull the metaphoric plug on the Primus VoIP phone service we've been using at home, and are going back to ... shudder ... Bell.

But only for a time. We'll be back on Primus's land-line home service shortly thereafter.

*Our dead calls take the form of the remote party suddenly being unable to hear us in the middle of a call.
