After thinking about how much I'm paying for a slow Business DSL connection and two phone lines, I've decided to switch over to a 50/10 cable connection cut out expenses since money is really tight right now.I've been using Ooma for about 4 years. Free Home Phone Service | Ooma
The house phones see very little use and I no longer need a business class line. I have a reasonably nice POTS wireless phone system with five handsets that I would like to continue using and a fax machine.
What do you guys recommend for a basic, no frills and inexpensive VoIP that will work with the Sophos UTM Home Edition here in the States?
Sophos will be installed on an i5 four core box with 4GB RAM.
Thanks!

Thank you [:)]I'm using the Basic service, which has all the features I need. I have it sitting behind Sophos UTM.
Ooma looks pretty good. Are you using the Basic or Premium service and do you have it going through Sophos? Have you tried to use a FAX machine with it?

dknyinva, thanks for the info.no latency at all. I went from Comcast Xfinity 25D / 5U to AT&T U-Verse with 12D / 3U and voice quality was/is excellent. Not really necessary, but I have setup QoS on the External (WAN) with a bandwidth pools of 512kb upper bandwidth limit as recommended by Ooma. On the traffic selectors I have the following setup
I still have reservations. I'm considering dropping my current Business DSL connection and phones lines in favor of a much faster Comcast connection and an inexpensive VoIP.
Do you notice any latency in the VoIP?
