Very pronounced "speakerphone" effect to calls?

Yea, I have always noticed that. Even when I had Vonage. When the other party is talking and you try talking "over" them they can't hear you .... actually they can but the other persons voice is so low it can barely be heard while they are talking. I tried jacking up the audio levels in v-Panel but it didn't help.

Yeah, that's exactly it. Except for me, Vonage definitely did not have the same issue... Vonage sounded more like a traditional phone call, where it was full duplex, and you could hear the caller no matter what. Whatever algorithm VOIPo is using is frankly not good at all, and unless I can get this fixed, I'm unlikely to stay with VOIPo after this contract year.

I had a phone call where I had to actually stop in the middle yesterday and ask if the person was on a speakerphone, because it was so disorienting to hear the audio from the other end cut (almost) completely off when I made even a noise. They didn't notice anything - in fact, they said that our phone calls were some of the clearest they get.
