Overview: For a successful implementation, a hosted PBX solution requires a quality data circuit (or circuits) to work. Unlike using a legacy PBX connected to the old public telephone network which consistently delivered quality phone calls, the quality of hosted PBX voice calls can be variable. VoIP quality is dependent upon the characteristics of the Internet circuit(s) used to transport the voice.
