SunRocket seems much improved
December 14, 2005 by Mike Wendland
I promised an update when I reinstalled it and tonight, after a week’s worth of renewed experience with SunRocket, one of the cheapest VoIP providers around, I can give it a favorable review. I’ve used it several times a day since reinstalling it and, except for occasional lags in dialing (it sometimes takes 20 seconds or so for the number I’m calling to start ringing), I have had no serious issues. It’s much improved over my last try in the fall. The company just came out with a $9.95-a-month offer and seems to be bending over backwards trying to woo consumers.
I am trying sunrocket but cannot get aol’s new streaming tv to work with it and my linksys router. Without the Gizmo, it works fine. Sunrocket says to call the computer manufacturer. Lame. It may be much improved but it’s still not quite ready for prime time. PS. FTP doesn’t work either.
Sunrocket went out of business today, so I’m wondering how much longer your service will work. I’ve read posts by a few customers who say their phones still work, but with the company closed down and their call center off line, I’m pretty sure things will start falling apart fast.
