you are correct.
origination and termination are from the point of view of the PSTN. your origination provider allows PSTN subscribers to originate calls to you. Your termination provider allows PSTN subscribers to recieve calls from you...

So what do you personally do? Live with a single VoIP provider? Use a PSTN provider?

P.S.: An Orginiation provider is someone who handles incoming calls from the PSTN and forwards them to you via VoIP? And a Termination provider is someone who handles outgoing calls from you via VoIP and forwards them to the PSTN? That seems exactly backwards to me. If the above is correct, I guess it goes right along with the whole FXS/FXO and DCE/DTE thing... ;)
