  I've found Vitelity as good as DIDs from Junction; haven't used
  Bandwidth.com.  Vitelity is very responsive, has reasonable rates, and
  when there is a problem (like when PacEast went under), they paid to port
  every single number to another provider, without cost to me, and with
  minimal downtime.  They've kept my business for 2.5 years now, and I
  continue to recommend them.

  To be fair, I don't have very many DIDs from Junction, mostly due to their
  high setup cost ($7 setup, $2/month for most DIDs), but the ones I do have
  worked without issue for several years as well, and have been very
  responsive, and do offer a good level of phone support for the extra cost.
  I prefer Vitelity, but Junction is great as well.
