[asterisk-users] SIP Provider Recommendation in US

2011-03-03 Thread Brent A. Torrenga
I am becoming frustrated with our current VOIP provider.  Does anyone have
any suggestions for a provider that supports asterisk well and provides
solid service?  Voip-info.org has a husge list of providers, but it is
impossible to tell the fly-by-night operations from the reputable providers.

I've had good luck with bandwidth.com for a couple of customers running call 
centers.

I'm happy so far with VoicePulse. Keep in mind, if you dig far enough,
you'll find good and bad comments about any provider.

I managed a decent size system pushing $40k/mo through VoicePulse.  Most of
it going to Uganda, Peru, and Fiji.  The voice quality was never an issue
except for VSAT  or whatever.

My only complaint from years ago when I ditched them, through inheriting the
new system is that they are constantly changing things that require user
intervention.  If you miss those emails, your phone system stops working.

If I wanted that I would hard code their IPs rather than using DNS.

Other than that, they had very good quality without any kind of direct link
or real QoS.

Obviously, pushing that amount of traffic their way also got me same day
replies from the CEO and if I really complained, and threatened to move the
business, he jumped on a plane to come visit but I was gone to Iraq already.

Bandwidth.com is a bit pricey but great.

I try to negotiate out old paradigm terms that are not applicable to VoIP so
much, such as channels.  Sure, you can limit me to whatever number we agree
upon, but I am not paying an MRC for them unless they are going to give me a
layer 2 handoff.

Gafachi is good and pretty cheap too, I was bit surprised.

Thanks,
Steve T

 I am becoming frustrated with our current VOIP provider.  Does anyone have
 any suggestions for a provider that supports asterisk well and provides
 solid service?  Voip-info.org has a husge list of providers, but it is
 impossible to tell the fly-by-night operations from the reputable providers.

I've been using Asterisk with the following providers over the last 8 years:

OnSIP (and before that Junction Networks), Teliax, Vitelity, Sipgate.

All have been around for a while, none are fly-by-night and each one
has a set of features that may or may not be what you want. [Shameless
plug] As it happens, we are talking with OnSIP today at 12 Noon EST
(disclosure: OnSIP is a sponsor of the VoIP Users Conference). You can
also come by anytime to discuss this topic which is always a valid
concern. Join us: http://vuc.me
