As broadband Internet connections continue to spread throughout Texas, services like VoIP are feeding the possibility of drastically lowered telecommunication costs. VoIP is steadily creeping its way into mainstream as even cable TV giants like Comcast have been toying around with the idea of providing free Wi-Fi connections in densely populated and bustling areas. By using programs like Skype, anyone can enjoy VoIP services in any hotspot.
To add fuel to the fire, satellite television operators, who are also capable of providing high speed Internet, can offer this service as well. It woudn't necessarily take bigwigs like Direct TV, although of course they can, to offer VoIP. Even smaller operators like WildBlue can. Despite the fact that cable TV is expected to perform better in delivering a higher quality for the same type of service, the advantage of satellite TV still lies on the fact that they can provide high speed Internet connection practically anywhere in Texas.
Some of the local companies that currently provide VoIP services in Texas are Facet Corp in Dallas, Technically Advanced in Addison, PSS Enterprises in Denton, and Telesource Installers in San Antonio. The current price range for a residential VoIP service is between $15 to $30.

VoIP, or Voice over Internet Protocol, is a way of sending your voice to someone else and visa versa. You need a microphone, speakers, and software for your computer, or a standalone piece of hardware that has a phone plug, and dial the person up. This also may require a service or membership with the company you get the software or hardware from.
