Hi
My old v1 SureSignal had been gathering dust for some time due to it being switched off because I found that, while it worked most of the time, it tended to drop calls when Outlook did an email sync, which became more annoying than the generally poor Vodafone signal I get in my home office.
However, having had my work phone switched from an old Blackberry to an iPhone 6, I now find the call quality totally unacceptable. I tried switching my v1 SureSignal on again and it simply did nothing, so I have now binned it.
I have to do something. Skype isn't working well enough (also due to bandwidth I presume) and so I have been looking at the latest SureSignal. However before spending £100 on buying it, I want to be confident that it won't suffer from the same drop-out problems that the v1 device did. Given that I am working with the same 6Mbit (on a good day) broadband connection, it would be helpful to know: -
- Is the latest SureSignal better at delivering audio calls over narrow bandwidth than the v1 device?
- Is the latest device able to prioritise its traffic to ensure that it gets enough bandwidth to operate well, while other applications such as Outlook are synchronising/competing for bandwidth?
Also, why is it that I have to pay £100 for a piece of hardware on Vodafone while other mobile telcos are offering free downloadable apps (eg. TuGo on O2 and a similar app on Three) to achieve the same thing??
Thanks in anticipation.
Jeremy
