I bet a pound to a penny you are using Virgin Media !
One way audio is one of the joys of VOIP when the data is going through
a dodgy route. Namely Virgin Media's network of non-existent capacity.
During the day I have to completely shut down my cable modem to force
everything over ADSL otherwise we are limited to a single VOIP line with
2 way comms and a 2nd line with one way or non existent audio.
The Had it twice earlier in the year with voipfone.co.uk when Virgin
Media were actually capable of routing traffic. Those times were caused
by a damaged fibre on B.T. 's side of things.
Been fine since then up untill Virgin Media introduced a "theoretical"
20Mbps service and lumped the Blueyonder, NTL & Virgin.net networks all
into one un-happy family. I guess trying to save costs on data pipes.
If you want a reliable voip service you need a decvent I.S.P of which
Virgin Media will never be until the big sell off and the purchasers
realise the need for network investment.
Of course... if you're not with Virgin Media I will look a bit of a prat.
