Hello, OBi noob here. I would like to purchase this OBi110 tonight if I can but after reading and reading all day and night last night I am still on the fence if I should make this small investment. I see that its on sale at Amazon for $49.99, so Id like to pull the trigger immediately, but only if it has already been proven to work with my setup or very similar to mine.
Im in Albuquerque NM on Blast 16/2, with 4 downstream bonded channels and only one upstream channel. I have a "Sipgate One" account and also a "Google Voice" account, gmail, talk chat etc etc. I also have an Android phone the T-Mobile Vibrant but do NOT have an active voice service on it at the present time. I only have a data plan currently on it. Google voice works wonderfully on my Vibrant via wifi and also works great on my computer.
My setup:
Service: Comcast Blast 16/2
Modem: Motorola SB6120, 4 down channels, 1 Up channel
Router: D-Link DIR-655, A4, FW 1.35NA
http://results.speedtest.comcast.net/result/69745252.pngOf course that speedtest result is powerboost influenced but I get that identical result 24/7 no matter what day it is. Speed slightly goes down a wee bit with further test servers of course but latency increases exponentially into tripple digits by the time Im several thousand miles away.
Are there any issues I may encounter with this setup? Has anyone else had problems with D-Link routers, DMZ, QoS etc etc? Ive read that D-Link routers seem to have issues with VoIP services, and so I am wondering if any OBi fans can attest to this rumor? Please help, as my MagicJack service came to an end yesterday and I do not want to pay them the $20 just to continue with their crappy VoIP quality. I am hoping OBi + Google Voice is an upgrade where quality is concerned.
Thank you very much
Rod
