Voice Over Internet Protocol or VoIP is an emerging technology that uses
the Internet as a global telephone network. It provides inexpensive local
and long distances calls and offers functionality and features that are
unavailable with conventional telephones. In North America, many small
and large companies are racing to offer VoIP services to both residential
and business customers. VoIP telephones are often referred to as "web
phones" or "Internet Phones".
VoIP requires a high-speed Internet connection. Because voice is
sent both "upstream" to the server and "downstream" to the computer, it is important that the bandwidth be "broad" in
both directions. Insufficient bandwidth will cause sound quality
issues. Because SDSL provides high-speed data transfer in both
direction, it is superior to ADSL for Internet telephony, particularly when
concurrent Internet activity is occurring over the same Internet connection.
