Listen Up! VoIP Quality - Sucks Sometimes
I used to record Podcasts over a VOIP corporate network but about every fourth word would be unintelligible. This was probably due more to the ineffective IT staffs management of the bandwidth demands on the network as VOIP wasn't the only application that was slow. Anyway, here is some factual feedback via Computerworld.

"The qualitylinks of service is bad and getting worse. And IT is using the wrong tools to measure the aural performance of voice-over-IP calls. After looking at 18 months of data gathered on Brix Networks Inc.'s www.testyourvoip.com Web site, Kaynam Hedayat, the Chelmsford, Mass.-based company's chief technology officer, found that end users rated one out of five VoIP calls "unsatisfactory" using the telecommunications industry's standard mean opinion score (MOS) metric. Hedayat admits to being surprised, having expected a 90% to 95% satisfaction rate among callers.
