Vonage Says VoIP Traffic Blocked By Providers

Posted by timothy on from the shut-up-you dept.

Anonymouse writes "Advanced IP Pipeline reports that Vonage has filed numerous complaints with the FCC over their VoIP traffic being blocked by major providers, something providers have long worried about but had not yet been seen 'in the wild.' Analysts expect the issue of network neutrality (or network discrimination) is only going to get larger as the bell and cable companies expand their VoIP efforts and bump heads with smaller providers."

    According to Powell, his understanding is that the blocking is not coming from major service providers, but from rural Local Exchange Carriers (LECs).

    If ISP's decide to block 5061 they would blocking way more than just Vonage, even if they block TFTP then Vonage uses an alternate port. So tell me, which ISP's are blocking Vonage?
