" I've been using Vonage over Comcast since late 2005, and I know of
" quite a few others who are using 3rd party VoIP services over
" Comcast without any issues. What were you doing that you found it
" nearly impossible to get VoIP to work? Feel free to drop into the
" .comcast newsgroup if you need help.

I tested VOIP on Comcast and Sonic DSL.  100% unusable on Comcast;
almost perfect on Sonic DSL.  Specific network diagnosis tests
revealed Comcast was introducing communications faults that
specifically hurt VOIP more than any other communication method.  I
posted my results here; I forget what they were.  Who knows why, and
who knows why they didn't fix it?  Perhaps because they're being
anti-competitive.

I don't know why your setup is fine, nor those of your friends.
