It's worth a try to experiment and see if your call quality improves

is that an OOMA fix ?

or

an ISP come out to my residence and fix type of problem?
If the quality is still bad with the ooma disconnected, then it is not an ooma problem. It could be your ISP, your modem, your router, or the wiring within your house.

Well there is your improvement
Now attach the ooma to one of the router's ethernet ports and run the test again

I doubt the hub is faulty, as Murphy said it's more likely a settings problem within your network components - modem or router

Describe your entire network in detail, something is not hooked up correctly.
Before you do that, log into the ooma hub and set both QOS values to 0. That disables QOS in the hub. Then rerun the tests.
