occasional Echo in Texas/Singapore

[johnnyrod]

Occasionally, I get an echo when I call San Antonio, Texas.
I'm in Austin, but ooma was all out of Austin numbers so I have a temp phone number out of San Antonio until my number is ported ( which is fine since I have family there too ).

I also get echo a lot when we call Singapore. It can be heard on both sides.

Can tech support check this out?

Update: Time warner found a connection issue to my house. It will take a week to get a tech out here, though. Will update any progress.

Turns out the cable was too old. 4 years to be exact.
Time Warner put in a new modem and my connect speeds are better than ever. No more echo or choppy calls.

However, we still get occasional dropped calls to Singapore in the middle of the conversation.

Any ideas?

If you can set your computer up next to the Ooma phone and hub location... download the free version of http://www.pingplotter.com and run it with the location of a Singapore-based Web-server.

You might get to see the latency of your internet connectivity to that region of the globe and observe it at the time such a drop-out is occurring. The ping Plotter won't show you the exact route the call is taking to get to your phone-call destination, but it will help you to see if latency is a contributor to the cause of the drop-out(s).
