Are you sure the problem isn’t the phone system? We use Polycoms with Skype and everything is crystal clear. Our AV guy says Polycom is the best you can buy at that price point, and he’s trying to sell me $15,000 systems.

We only ever get reports about problems when people are actually dialing into something over POTS.

Its likely a network problem causing large jitter buffers (see my other comment). Buying Polycom won't solve this problem, unless the jitter buffer is in adaptive mode and its wildly overestimating the jitter (a problem I've seen on Polycoms and Grandstreams before).
