Packet8 Rated as Best VoIP Service Over Vonage & AT&T

8x8, Inc. (Nasdaq: EGHT - News) the Packet8 broadband voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) and videophone communications service provider, announced that Packet 8 has been rated "best VoIP provider" over Vonage, AT&T CallVantage, Verizon VoiceWing, and iConnectHere in a study recently published by TomsNetworking (www.tomsnetworking.com), the Internet's premier destination for SOHO / SMB networking news, reviews and technology analysis.

According to the report, "Making the Jump to VoIP" (http://www.tomsnetworking.com/Sections-article109-page9.php ), prepared by industry journalist Russell Shaw, Packet 8 service emerged as "the best of the bunch tested" with special marks for geographic service availability -- "covered the U.S. like a blanket," new subscriber activation -- "sign-up screens were intuitively laid out and quick to load," and flexibility -- "Packet 8's shining virtue is its superior configurability for home and office networks."

"As consumer awareness of broadband telephony grows, third party assessments of VoIP services become increasingly important to the education and buying process," said 8x8 Chairman & CEO Bryan Martin. "We are pleased that Packet8 was acknowledged so favorably on a number of service characteristics."

In addition to reviews of five VoIP service providers, "Making the Jump to VoIP" features a primer on VoIP technology along with advice to those contemplating a switch to broadband phone service.
