Re: "more reliable services " is a lie

People can only listen to your calls if they can see the packets - so as to be able to "tap" them. If the packets aren't going through your equipment (or at least, equipment you control) then you can't listen in.

But otherwise, yes - there are many problems. Not least of which is that without proper end-end QoS (which in practice means that Openretch provide a separate channel with dedicated bandwidth) then you are at the whimsy of network load as to whether you sound like a Dalek or a real person.
