If the VLAN covered from the POTS to the SIP gateway that was connected to the
tandem, the quality should be pretty high. Better than using best-effort
public routing to the gateway.
But since everything is fiber these days and everything tends to work very
well, it may not be a difference that would be noticeable.

@ $7 is a decent price for this type of service, keeping in mind that the whole
picture could be different once the one time charges and any minimum commits
are taken into account.
Figure about $3-$4 per sub as a 'cost' of platform. $1 for DID + Caller ID
lookup, and the rest would be used for mou's, I am assuming that taxes & fees
along with E911 charges would be over and above the $7.
At the end of the day it is going to be about Volume, i.e. 100 subs vs 1000
subs, somewhere about $2500-3k/month spending the balance between doing the
flat rate style arrangement vs taking the risk on mou arbitrage will start to
change.
In regards to a 'local' provider, vlan providing quality would not be accurate,
and quite possibly a myth. It only would address a very small portion of the
actual path.. The quality greatly depends on the providers setup, i.e. how
many codec conversions are taking place in the Voice path, and what is the
network connectivity to the VOIP to TDM gateway or Sonus/ACME Switch path looks
like.
Folks commonly mistake in looking at the network path to the Proxy, or the call
control data path, while the actual quality of the Voice is dependent on the
network path of the Voice traffic, which is not the same as the call control
traffic.
It has taken a long time to learn the intricacies of VOIP, what affects it and
how to identify them.
We will be more than happy to work with you on this project of that makes sense.

We have no idea how many will want this. Currently we have over 5K on pots.
We have a provider that is willing to do it in the $7 range. They are
already serving some of our other areas.
I figured if I could VLAN it to a local provider the quality ought to be
perfect.

Fair enough, that explains why you are looking for this..
Care to share Price Target ? and Qty / Volume commit ?

We are starting to offer stand alone broadband under the neca CBOL tariff.
Some of those people will still want telephone service. So we need a non
regulated VOIP product that will not traverse our regulated equipment.

Care to share on-list or off-list as to what is the core reason why you are
looking for such ?
i.e. a regulatory issue ? A Technical Issue ? or a perceived convenience
issue ?
We can easily provide you with such a service, but depending on the core
issue you are trying to solve it may or may not be a good working arrangement.

Subject: [AFMUG] VOIP Providers
I need a wholesale voip provider to serve my ILEC territory in Utah. I
would port my local 801-789 numbers to the VOIP provider.
We need unlimited LD and solid 911. Would prefer someone local.
So, before I give XMission a call I thought I would put this out there.
