ISP's Blocking VoIP access
Is the honeymoon over? Or rather, has VoIP now hit the radar screens of ISP's for the first time? Seems unbelievable, doesn't it.
Like the article says, "people will start voting with their feet."After some rumors that a large WISP was blocking Vonage's voip ports, it appears as though Clearwire is the WISP Vonage is investigating.
The fact remains that Vonage could have easily leveraged the ISP channel a long time ago to build their service and gain several network allies along the way. They've gone the other route and appear to be sticking to the strategy. Seems myopic to me, but I guess if you have strong profits and growth early on and have a successful IPO before the port issue turns into a court issue, you can afford the battle.

My experience with clearwire has been a bad one. I am not getting anywhere close to the advertised bandwidth and in trying to bring the problems to their support team, there is no effort to get the problem solved, just excuses and no offer to refund since they haven't delivered the service paid for. I even requested contact from an executive and got a run around by their service department on that too. I would not recommend them to an enemy even at this point! This account was given to me for a year by a friend to help me be able to show and sell my art on the Internet because I am disabled and the service works so lousy in trying to upload print files because they are throttling bandwidth on everyone. This is not how they represent their service to be!!!!
