Giving wholesale VoIP termination higher priority

[tanjimajuha20]

While Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) is an increasingly popular choice for many businesses, relieving them of IT burdens, security threats and high capital expenditure on in-house software, the burden it adds to network connections is often forgotten. Not all of those network connections are under your control. If it is the service provider that is overloaded, or your segment of the Internet, then upgrading your own bandwidth will make little improvement to your VoIP or other congestion problems.

Minimise this belgium telegram risk through planning. Make it company policy to run bandwidth heavy tasks such as backing up or file syncing overnight, keeping the airwaves freer for vital services during the day.


Your routers and other network equipment have a “Quality of Service” setting, abbreviated to QoS. You can use your QoS settings to prioritise certain kinds of traffic over others. Depending on your router, you may be able to specify which users, which applications, or which kind of data streams get preferential treatment, so that their packet loss, jitter, transmission delays, bit loss and other parameters are all optimised.

If you have new routers provided as part of your new VoIP installation they may already be optimised for VoIP, but it’s worth checking. If you have retained older routers, its worth checking to see if you can improve the settings for VoIP. Your provider will be happy to give advice if they are familiar with your router.
