OK, here's some statistics for the month of December for
the carrier in question:

Our record shows:
100,504 calls
130,740:27 minutes total

Their record shows:
100,161 calls (probably just time difference here
179,811.28 minutes total

Their record shows total rate charged $229 higher than what
our billing system determined we SHOULD have been charged.
In other words- $229 extra have been charged due to signaling
problems - and this is just one month.

I used to ask them for refunds for these but to be honest it's
such a PITA that I just gave up and started routing most of
our traffic to other carriers.

Bad billing is bad for business no matter how great your
call quality is. :)
