VoIP, for those of you who aren't aware, this is the ability to make "phone like" calls over the Internet (or Buisness Intranet, as it is being used right now).

But the way they are expanding it is like, "Holy Sh*t, so i won't have to pay so much for that call?".

Loking at the whats said about VoIP, it makes ya wonder, "How long till our common house hold phone is obselete?"

Anyway, Discuss

I see the conversation going "Hey, my calls are cheaper, but why am I paying more for internet access, and why is it so slow"

I use Skype at work - even on a 512Mb ADSL connection there is a lot of breakup - its possible the USB mic's I'm supposed to be getting (say in around 10 years) may help slightly.


The place for all great plug-ins.
