It typically does not. Data packets may experience some delay under Quality of Service (QoS) voice packet prioritization, but it should not affect delivery in a noticeable way.
The quality is comparable to regular Public Switch Telephone Network (PSTN) service. We manage QoS using equipment on the customer premise, as well as in our network.
The benefits of this solution include:
- High quality voice calls
- Voice traffic is prioritized over data for inbound and outbound traffic
- Eliminates the need to overprovision bandwidth
- Enhances router performance by offloading QoS function
