[asterisk-biz] XO SIP Service ?

[Craig Guy]

Do you mean t.38 when you say SIP?  Unfortunately the pricing is under NDA,
however I agree that the monthly commit is steep.  Depending on what you're
doing you may be able to include multiple services eg cabinet, internet
feed, voice etc towards the monthly commit.

I emailed both organisations from their respective sales links on their
websites.

I too would love to get into Level 3 or XO but their monthly
commitment is still a barrier ... We only push around 50-60k minutes
inbound and outbound. Also I've heard that Level3 won't do SIP yet
since they're still testing it or some other crap.

If anyone can hook me up with a contact that can do something even
with our volume, I would be forever grateful.
Another option would be if someone that's already hooked up to Level 3
would take us "under their wing"  and resell traffic and DIDs to us.
