Does This work for anyone???

[Larry J]

I've been using JK very successfully for the last couple months. Started with my self and two other guys in AZ, one in TX. One guy had issues with his setup, but overall it worked. Two hour long rehearsals. Then we tried 2 of us in AZ, one in TX, and one in CT. There was noticeable latency, but everything still worked. Most recently, three of us in AZ, one in TX, but one of the AZ guys (first time user) was not wired via ethernet, instead was WiFi. We had some bad latency issues at times, but it still was workable. Next time, that person will be hard wired, and I expect we will have our best results so far.

It does take some time to work out the interface, IT, and network issues, but once you do, it should be consistent going forward.

I'm curious if you would share you ISP in AZ? My brother's a pretty techy kinda guy and has been trying to help me out a bit. He just sent me links to a couple of forums, one of which is from the Cox's own website where folks are complaining about the jitter issues they're having. These are mostly gamers and some VoIP clients who are dropping packets like crazy. They claim it's because of Cox's unwillingness to upgrade equipment and some have gone so far as to report Cox to the FCC. They're fed up with paying $75 to $100 a month for internet service and can't even play games reliably. We ran some ping tests and my network at home is great. It's when I test it over the internet that the numbers suck and bounce all over the place which is exactly what happens when I attempt to use JK.  So curious if anyone else in the Phoenix area is using Cox Communications and if so with what level of success.
