FYI: I've had both TW Telecom and TW Cable out here soliciting me. Despite the similar name, they are two completely separate companies. TW Telecom is pretty much business only. TW Cable is a residential-grade company that also has a foot in the door of business services.

What they provide, at least in our neck of the woods, is proprietary voip that is then converted to analog signaling at the client end, requiring me to use a analog to sip converter inside to get it working with sipx. We had nothing but a year of issues, with the biggest problem being calls that would randomly terminate. A switch to voip.ms<http://voip.ms> brought satisfaction to my customer, and I've since learned my lesson.

I spent months with dozens of people in their support department and they kept saying it isn't them. Another local VoIP installer said that they have nothing but trouble with TW. They ONLY hand off their lines as analog, forcing you to get an analog gateway. They will not provide a PRI or SIP, although they did say that SIP trunking is something they are looking into down the road. Stay away from Time Warner at all costs with VOIP equipment. ________________________________ From: sipx-users-boun...@list.sipfoundry.org<mailto:sipx-users-boun...@list.sipfoundry.org> [mailto:sipx-users-boun...@list.sipfoundry.org<mailto:sipx-users-boun...@list.sipfoundry.org>] On Behalf Of Tony Graziano Sent: Monday, September 05, 2011 2:49 PM To: Discussion list for users of sipXecs software Subject: [sipx-users] sipXecs and VoIP from TW Telecom The advantage I see with voip.Ms is that they have automated failover per number. At the same time you would need to address firewall needs for each site versus the cost for a pri gateway(s). Voip.Ms has a how to for sipx on their wiki now.
