Summary: It works! But installation instructions aren't clear
Review: I was abit suspicious when I heard of VOIP internet telephony, which (unlike typical internet telephony services like "net2phone" or "dialpad") is supposed to work really well with broadband/fast internet service (e.g. DSL, Cable, or satellite. However when I heard about the good reviews of VOIP I decided tyo give it a try since I had DSL. I decided to subsrcibe to DeltaThree's "iconnecthere" service and that meant that I needed to buy the Actiontec IPW in order to use it. The Actiontec IPW device is very easy to use and works just fine with the "iconnecthere" service. I have had no problems with it and the voice clarity is very good (I'd give it an 8/10). The only problem is that the instructions that came with the Actiontec IPW on how to connect it to the PC and Modem weren't clear so I had to figure it out on my own. However I have submitted a "flow chart" to Amazon.com which I assume can be found on this page, and it shows how to connect the device easily, I hope you find it helpful!

Summary: Excelent product
Review: This product is excelent.
I also use iConnectHere, but this product is not mandatory for placing calls. I used a headset w/microphone in the first place, and later decided to buy the IPW.
The sound quality is very good. I have also been able to use it with the following providers/products:

Dialpad/DialpadChameleon
FreeWorldDialUp/X-ten lite

However, you cannot dial directly from the phone's numeric keypad with these. Only PcPhone (from iConnectHere) supports this feature.

Don't forget that a high network/internet load can affect the sound quality.
