VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol)
VOIP Services Auckland
VoIP has become more prevalent these days as internet speeds and traditional Telco prices increase. VoIP essentially allows you to have a phone using the internet rather than a traditional phone line. This offers much more flexibility. Phones can be setup all on one site, or over several sites with no complicated cabling.
The reliability of VoIP is reliant on the quality of your internet connection and the load on it. With the release of UFB and VDSL, VoIP can be more reliable, but UFB is not required. We have clients that have been running several lines for at least 3 years now on ADSL2+ and have had no real issues.
