Question:
Is Digital Phone a VoIP service?
Answer:
While Digital Phone is an IP-based telephony service, unlike most Voice over
Internet Protocol (VoIP) providers, it is managed over Time Warner Cable?s
private IP network so customers? calls never touch the public Internet.

And

Consistent call quality is a big factor in nearly all the VoIP reviews we
read. Cable VoIP has the edge here, since cable companies route calls over
their own networks. Traditional VoIP uses public Internet and is more subject
to problems from crowded bandwidth. International calls and calls during peak
hours can have glitches like echoes and dropped calls.
