[asterisk-biz] New Broadband Phone Service

[shadowym]

What do you mean by QoS?

The ONLY reliable ITSP service is one that is able to offer end to end QoS.
In other words, TDM circuits so your basically back to using the PSTN again.
An internet connection that is geographically near to(therefore few hops)the
PSTN connection is ok for some but it will never replace a traditional phone
connection for many businesses. 

There are zero guarantees if your part of general internet traffic no matter
how close you are.  Some day the backbone ISP providers may all offer end to
end IP QoS options within their networks and from one to another but I don't
see that happening anytime soon.

I sorry but I have to disagree. There are many businesses that can use VoIP,
have a good QOS and save tons of money.
