To try and save some money, I cancelled my home phone service through TDS Metrocom and switched it to Internet voice through my Internet provider. But now oddly, when I surf the net I’m often getting bad gateway and a bunch of other internet connection issues.
Anyone have an insight as to what might be going on? I just did the transition today.
It’s the same one I had before that was provided. They just always supply the same cable/router box whether you have voice com or not and it has jacks for phones in it. Phone works, but my Internet has slowed a lot, pings went up, and of course the unresolved DNS and bad gateways. Happened right after the voice got activated.
Don’t pay for VOIP. Use old smartphones with google voice for free. You get 911 service this way even without a paid SIM card in the phone.
If you really want to use physical landline style phones like a geriatric go with google voice with an obihai device. Also no monthly fees baseline, but if you want 911 service you’ll need to pay twenty bucks per year to a paid VOIP provider like Callcentric.
I’m not too sure. I’ve been so busy running around to car lots trying to find transportation, I haven’t been on the Internet hardly at all. But when I’ve been on, I haven’t received the message.
