He could have just been rounding or perhaps he has 600 channels of SIP from his carrier partners.

Brian, That response is not very reassuring. A T3 should give you 672 channels, or, 665 if you are terminating to quad T1 cards using one channel for NFAS. How are you interconnected to get such a round number of 600? If I am forking out that much money for a "Virtual PRI", I want it in writing that you have some sort of "Gold Standard" in place. I want every channel that is promised and paid for to be available at any time, guaranteed. Otherwise, how do I know that you are not operating like some of the web hosting companies that put hundreds of websites on a single server? That is not the impression that I get from you or your company, but what is in the SLA, if anything, concerning this? Thanks, Steve Brian Fertig wrote: > More or less yes.
