does anyone have a reccomendation for a good VOIP provider. Im currently with iprimus and have broadband and home phone with them, and there seem to be some very good deals out there with VOIP technology, but with so many options available its getting confusing.

I am using Telstra cable "NO LANDLINE :) :) :) " with Gotalk VOIP "10c landline calls anywhere in Aus :)" for the last to month have not had any problems at all, looked at Engin but found that their plans were not that good.
Good luck.
 
I've just recently connected with Engin and can recommend them so far. Very helpful on the phone, fast setup (was talking on the phone within 10 minutes) and their plan suited me eg 10c calls $10 per month, free Engin to Engin.
I'm using a Linksys WRT54GP2 (about $150) - no troubles so far - bought form MyVoipStore in Brisbane, who were very helpful with selecting the voip box, great service and quick order delivery.
PS.. Engin have a deal going now where you get $100 cash back if you stay connected for 3 months.
 
I use skype, set up an account, get a skype phone that feeds direct from yr router so no PC required (apart from the initial account setup) and yr on yr way. Can get the phone from most phone shops... Calls to landsline worldwide are about 1-2c per minute, mobiles are little more. You can also get a Skype in number for $50 annually that will act as a call in number from any outside phone. Call quality is great, there are no contracts and it comes with free voicemail...

I have it setup this way and am living in Holland, I have a Sydney & UK number that call through to my location anywhere I may be...

Has worked well for me...

Scientists Make Wi-Fi Twenty Times Faster

If you're never content with Wi-Fi speeds, rest assured that scientists are trying to help. In fact, a team of Japanese researchers has just broken the record for wireless data transmission in the terahertz range””with a data rate 20 times higher than most current Wi-Fi connections.

The research focuses on what scientists call the "T-ray" band: the part of the electromagnetic spectrum between 300 GHz and 3 THz. Lying between microwave and far-infrared, it's currently an unregulated part of the spectrum, which could be fair game for use in Wi-Fi networks in the future.

The researchers, from the Tokyo Institute of Technology, have developed hardware capable of transmitting data at 3Gb/s””that's about 20 times faster than current Wi-Fi connections””at frequencies up to 542GHz. The results are published in Electronics Letters.
To do that, they used a 1 millimeter-square device known as a resonant tunneling diode, which produces smaller voltages with increasing current. By tuning the current, the team are able to make the tiny device resonate, and spit out signals in the terahertz band.

It is, of course, currently just a proof of concept, and terahertz Wi-Fi would probably only ever work over distances of the order of tens of yards. But given that researchers think it might be possible nudge 100Gb/s in the future, I think you could cope. You'll just have to be a little bit more careful with your data caps.

We've been using Pennytel for quite a few years and it all goes very well. We use a linksys ATA, and still use our regular DECT phones scattered around the house. We use our standard Testra phone number for incoming calls so we didn't have to tell people a new number, and outgoing automatically goes through Pennytel. 8 cents to call US or UK and you can talk all day if you want. Missed incoming calls get captured by voicemail and emailed as a WAV to our mobile phones. Zero user training, so 100% adoption rate.
