A lot of our guys fly the Syndicate server in RoF and use ventrilo. I even have it installed on my PC.
But I have a relatively slow adsl connection 384kps. So every ounce of bandwidth counts. The choice for me is not based on how it sounds but on if it will work.
If I use ventrilo in RoF I am 90% sure to get a 1019 disconnect from server error.
Using TS3 I do not have the problem at all.

I'm not trying to get into a debate either. Just your tone implied that because all other people use TS3 that we should as well. We'd rather have the better quality, hence why we pay more for vent.
The reason you'd get a disconnect in ROF while using ventrilo is because ROF uses 10x the bandwidth of almost any other MP sim out there. With your low speed connection, I'm surprised it doesn't happen without any sort of coms anyways. But, one of the things about vent is it's endless options for configuration. If you are getting disconnects while using vent, you could have said something to one of us. In vent you can easily change a channel's codec (say lower it to the TS3 one), or create a different codec in a new channel for when people who have low speed connections join. That way you'd have the same bandwidth codec that TS3 uses while in vent.
But if this was happening, you could of told us long before now, and we'd have easily remedied the situation for you.
