Yes. Even though Lite, or entry level, broadband connections are slower than regular broadband service there is still enough speed to support a HERMES phone call without any sacrifice in quality. However it is important to note that many Lite broadband connections may only allow one device to connect to the internet at a time. In such cases you will need a router (~$60 CAD) to allow multiple devices to connect to a Lite connection. Routers also provide firewall protection to your network from hackers and many viruses. Shaw Lite is an example of a broadband connection which only allows one device to connect.
