anyone have this voice-over telephone technology problem?

I had mixed success with various VOIP providers over the years. I finally switched to a Skype Mexico account, which gives you a U.S. dial-in number and unlimited dialing to the U.S. Besides the wide availability of portable devices for Skype works extremely well on the latest Android devices (e.g. Nexus 7, Kindle Fire HD) and latest Apple IOS devices.

The big problem everyone is experiencing is with Telmex -no matter what service you've signed up for, upload speeds have ground down to a halt - averaging 40-60 kbps. Skype can barely hold a call at this speed, but most VOIP ATAs require a minimum of 80-90 kbps.

Go to speedtest.net and check your connection speed.
