[asterisk-biz] Starting a VOIP Business

[Mike Hammett]

As a WISP and VoIP operator myself I agree that those things cause issues, 
but not all WISPs are operated in that fashion.  What percentage, I cannot 
say, but my network has less than 0.1% packet loss and end-end latency is 
almost always less than 10 ms, but usually less than 5 ms.
