I said:
if the network is completely private to Comcast does that mean that only calls On-Net (that is between Comcast customers) or between Comcast customers and POTS termination work?
If this is true that would seriously limit the utility of the service, wouldn't it? I mean part of the appeal of VoIP is the abiliity to place calls for free to the widest possible audience of recipients.
How many customers are using Comcast's service? Is there a client for non-Comcast customers? If so, how do they connect to Comcast's "private network".
Are you sure that Comcast isn't just using an MPLS VPN?
to which you replied:
No it simply means that it is their network and that no data will travel on it..its a voice network owned by Comcast.
Not sure why this is so dificult.
Okay...so does this mean that using Comcast VoIP a Comcast customer can place a call to ANY Customer on the via VoIP, either terminating into the POTS network or to another Comcast Customer (on their private voice network) or to a non-comcast customer but one online who is capable of receiving a VoIP call?
Becase your answer implies that every person called by a comcast customer recieves the call via ComCast's private network. I find this unlikely. Comcast does not provide service to everyone.
THis means that at some point Comcast has to drop that traffic off onto either POTS or to another private network with a peering agreement or to the Internet.
In any case, my question made perfect sense however I think your imperfect understanding and desire to insult me caused you to make another mistake similar to those that embarrassed you with Michael.
Are you even familiar with the capabilities of MPLS?
