Question: VoIP service providers?

I'm looking for an unlimited plan for a small business, I work from home as a call center agent and I don't want to run into an issue with a company freaking out if I go with a residential plan. I am also hoping to find a plan that includes unlimited calls to Europe. Any suggestions on a company that has good rates and excellent sound quality would be apprciated.
I have read people who used their phone alot had the company contact them and accuse them of using a residential line for business purposes, even if they weren't. One man said that his kids were on the phone pretty much 24-7 and they started billing him all these extra charges when he had unlimited calling.... I don't want to run into that myself.

Answer: There are several different phone companies that use the Internet for transport. All of them have one major flaw which they talk around. No phone company, regardless of the company, that uses the Internet for transport can guarentee voice quality. This is because the Internet does not pay heed to priority marked packets. VoIP requires voice packet priority to assure voice quality.

Secondly, your own LAN must be sufficiently robust to handle VoIP and must also provide priority to Voice Packets on its own LAN.

Many VoIP carriers tell you that you really need a faster Internet feed when you have voice quality issues. This is the case ONLY when the speed is too slow to handle VoIP and background data flow. However, Internet feed capacity does NOT in and of itself resolve the issue.

Many small businesses try these services - and ultimately they realize the voice quality is not acceptable. It is even worse for international calls. The root cause is not the VoIP service itself, it is that the Internet does not provide voice packet priority - and this fouls voice quality.

I am sure you will hear many state how wonderful their service is - and it may be. I also know many later find the service degrades and is unpredictable. When it works, it is fine; however it cannot be considered reliable always when the Internet is the carrier.

Question: If I use my home address as the registered address of an LLC I plan to start, does it put my home in jeapordy?

I plan to start an LLC and like the fact that there is limited liability in case of legal action. However, I wanted to use my home address as the LLC address (no business will actaully be done there, just billing and mailing etc). I would like to know that whether using my home as the business address causes any issues should there be legal action against the comapny? Any insight greatly appreciated.

Answer: All companies have assets, but only the assetts belonging to the company can be attached in legal action.
So if your business does not own your house, it can not be in jeaprody from your company.
It's like renting an office, a creditor cannot seize your landlords property for your debts.
