[Asterisk-Users] RE:Terrible inbound call quality vs. outbound

[Gene Willingham]

I am experiencing the same problem, except I do not use Voicepulse outbound.
I have 100 Mbps connection, so it should not be a bandwidth issue.   Last
Thursday they had a 4 hour outage on inbound calls.  The call quality has
deteriorated since.  I am in the process of looking for another provider.

Keep in mind Voicepulse can not load balance incoming calls.  They have one
server handling all calls.  On the out bound they have two servers, and I
chose to use server 2 than 1.  I assume others have as well.  So each of
these servers have 1/2 the call volume compared to the inbound route.

Hi. I'm having a terrible time with call quality coming into my * box.

I'm using VoicePulse over a 1.5/1.5 mbit line. Outbound calls are 
crystal clear on both the RX/TX sides of the conversation. Inbound 
calls, though, are HORRIBLY garbled on the RX side. I can barely hear 
the caller, but they report my quality is fine. Getting loads of 
garbled sounds and weird echoes. (Could just be jumbled up voice 
packets?)

Details:
2.4 GHz P4
Fresh Fedora Core 3 install
Fresh Asterisk install

VoicePulse connect service
Cisco 7960 phones
Gigabit routing and NICs internally

Any ideas?
