[wellylug] Woosh + VoIP + iTalk

[Mark Foster]

This same logic is going to apply to most Wireless services; Latency is 
typically higher, esp on those which use a wireless means of getting 
signal over the 'local loop' hop, as it were.

Eg, 802.11b in a short distance environment migbht be ok... but yeah, 
Woosh will struggle. As would the old Ihug Ultra thing too I think.

Maybe i'm biased, but where a cabled version of the service is available, 
i'll always prefer it. Its worth paying a little bit more for, even. (Ok, 
so theres a limit...)
