voice delay using SIP

[skyshine]

Hi,

I am really happy with my OBI110 purchase! The callback function is especially nice. I currently have landline, GV, and Callcentric (call-in only)  registered. I also like the ability to call-block as well!

Now, on to the question:
Is it just me, or is there about 0.5 second to a second delay of voice? For example, if I make an outgoing call via GV to my cellphone, then say hello when connected, I hear my voice approximately 0.5s - 1s after (also tried using a SIP echo service which echos back my voice, same delay). This is not the case with landline calls. I hear it almost instantly. Due to this, it is a bit difficult to carry on a conversation via SIP. If I call another person, I can tell that they are still hearing what I say even though I have finished saying it. Does anyone have this issue? is this only with GV?

Thank you.

I see that from time to time with google voice, but not regularly.  When I do run into it I track the call in the google voice control panel and mark it as a problem call with the issue and share it with google.  I assume if they get enough at the same time they'll track down the issue.

It could be due to a problem router, a problem route, or an issue on the telecom or cellular networks.

all that said, it could be a problem with your ISP and their routers.  If their routers are picking a non-optimal route to get you to google excess latency can be put into the path.  (hmm, tracert to what for google voice?)

Thank you for the reply. It is worse if I use it with callback.
