VOIP causes connection speed to drop?
I subscribe to Earthlink's true voice service, which is a VOIP telephone line. I use roadrunner cable for my high speed internet connection. When I connect from my modem straight into the PC, my connection is 100Mbps, however, when I put the voice adapter inline, my connection drops to 10Mbps...Is this normal?
The adapter is a linksys analog telephone adaptor which was provided by Earthlink.
Both of the cables that I use to connect are high speed cables, and I have tested both of them independantly of the voice adapter.
Your voice adapter is only capable of 10Mbps. That's why the speed drops down when you put it between your PC and modem.
I'd put a 100Mbps router or switch between your modem and PC. Then put your voice adapter off of the router and your PC off of the router too. Then your PC will get 100Mbps.
