is static or dsl isp matters in VOIP phone connection?

ip address is not the issue.  You may try, at a command prompt,type " ipconfig /flushdns ".   It could be  a dns problem, OR some ISPs actually block the voip protocol.  check with your isp.  It is not legal in the U.S> to do so, but some do anyway.

Standard voice-over-IP uses about 100kbps.  Something like Vonage will use slightly less.  If you have cable or DSL with like a 3mbps service or better, you won't notice the extra load.

In the simplest terms, the speed of your DSL connection will depend on the distance between your home and the point of origin of the phone line. The speed of your cable connection will depend on how many other people are subscribed and using their connection at the same time that you are.\n\nYou can check the speed of DSL connections from the provider(s) in your area at a number of sites; I like DSLreports.com. Their FAQ sections are also very helpful--in particular, I recommend the one on DSL vs. cable and the general DSL one.

There are a few ISP's that phone service is not required to have internet access.  Covad is one.\n\nBut you do need an existing phone jack to go DSL, if ytou decide to go Cable then no telco jack is needed as it comes in over your cable lines.

pppoe connections are primarily dsl connections, i believe...

If you're dialing changing ISP's will probably not work. \n\nIf you're connecting at 26k it seems to me like you have either a really old modem or perhaps faulty wiring or even just line noise.\n\nI would switch to some form of broadband access imediately. DSL is good but Cable is faster.

It is not sufficient to just have a VOIP phone service like Lingo or Vonage. You need internet connectivity via Cable or DSL to take your call to the internet. Your wireless router could be a DSL gateway which has an incoming DSL and outgoing wireless or ethernet ports. But the bottom line is that you will require internet connection. If this is via cable, u do require a cable modem, if it is DSL, you can make do with a wireless DSL router.

Get a VOIP router! and then hook that up with your phone line's main console...which might be outside the house!

It can very with line distance from source and city and line noise and modem the quality of ISP"s equipment\n\nMost people get between 19.2  and 53.3\n\nIf you're in a city you should be getting above 40.0\n\nTo check to see if you have alot of line noise pickup the phone and dial number 1 to clear dial tone if you hear a bunch of line noise it will probably make your connection on the slow side ,if you only hear silence it you should get a faster connection..

Good answer in the wikipedia article: \nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modems\nThere are certain special requirements and restrictions associated with V.90 modems. In order for a users to obtain up to 56k upload speeds from their ISP, the telephone line had to be completely digital between the ISP and the telephone company central office (CO) of the user. From there the signal could be converted from digital to analog but only at this point. If there was a second conversion anywhere along the line 56k speeds were impossible. Also, the line quality of the user's telephone line could affect the speed of the 56k connection with line noise causing slow downs, sometimes to the point of only being marginally faster the 33.6kbps connection. An important restriction with V.90 is that while V.90 modems can obtain up to 56kbps download speeds, they are limited to 33.6kbps upload speeds.

Depends on if your provider uses dynamic or static IP's.  You could always use another provider.....

A phone line was originally created to only handle frequencies as high or low as a human voice.  Therefore when using dialup, you are limited by the amount of data that can be transferred within that frequency.  Using DSL, the frequency has a much larger range, and that is why if you have DSL, you have to have a filter for you phones, it filters out the DSL frequencies, and only picks up the voice frequencies.

VOIP is a service.  It's also a bandwidth user.  ANY company can decide what they will allow their service to be used for.  Also remember "freedom of speech" only applies to the GOVERNMENT.  Access to the internet is a "service" and can be controled just like any other service.  Your ISP has decided that VoIP is too much of a bandwidth user to allow on THEIR network.  They have to ensure a high level (read speed) of service to ALL customers, and having VoIP can decrease that level of service.  \n\nI'm betting there's plans in the works to increase the capabilities of their network to allow VoIP, but for now they have chosen to block it until they feel they can support the extra bandwidth.

go to DSLreports.com. run the tweak test. download Drtcp and do what you are told to do. this will tweak yout tcp/ip settings to use adsl. By default tcp/ip is set up for dial up connections.

Not if they are just passively colleting the packets without your knowledge.  The best defense in this case is to use SRTP or to transmit your VOIP traffic only through encrypted network channels such as a VPN.

Get a connection from some if the ISP's that the previous asnwerer has told you. \nIf you need to know how its done, google for DHCP.

You can't get a highspeed connection over your phone line (well except for DSL).
