I have heard that VoIP has poor quality, should I be concerned about switching to VoIP?
VoIP call quality has improved dramatically, and works just fine when installed correctly. However, you can still experience poor call quality if you do not plan VoIP service implementation correctly. ComRes takes great care to counsel customers on the proper way to deploy VoIP so as to ensure the highest call quality. Some things that affect VoIP call quality are:
Cabling
– Cabling must be properly installed Cat 5e or Cat 6 cabling. This is even more important if you plan on sharing the cable between a VoIP phone and data device. Have an experienced cabling company evaluate your cable to ensure that it will support VoIP properly. Contact your ComRes representative to evaluate your cabling and make recommendations for improvements if necessary
Data Switches
– Sub-standard data switches can cause poor VoIP quality. Use quality products from reputable manufacturers. Like cabling, this is especially important if you plan on sharing cabling between a VoIP phone and data device.
Internet Bandwidth/Quality
– Internet quality can greatly affect your VoIP experience. Make sure that you have sufficient Internet bandwidth and transmission quality prior to installing CloudTalk VoIP service to ensure the best experience. Contact your ComRes representative to find out if your Internet service is of sufficient quality and to make recommendations for improvement if necessary
