Here in Massachusetts, when GlobalNAPs was shut down a few years ago, Paetec stepped up and provided nearly-continuous service. Windstream, on the other hand, was created by banksters who wanted to milk USF and flout pro-competition laws. Now they're using their subsidy money to buy up honest competitors.

I NEVER use incumbents if I can help it. But CLECs with SIP and local numbers aren't available everywhere, and paying for a long-haul circuit to have a long-distance telephone number, just because it's delivered in SIP, makes no sense. Of course PRI gives you lots of channels per trunk too. It's very flexible. It just doesn't share a pipe with data. So mixed voice-data EELs usually aren't PRI. But it is possible to run PRIs on Asterisk. >On Aug 5, 2011, at 7:41 PM, Mike Hammett <[email protected]> wrote: > > > You mean Windstream? :-p > > > > ----- > > Mike Hammett > > Intelligent Computing Solutions > > http://www.ics-il.com > > > > > > > > On 8/5/2011 5:56 PM, Leon D.
