[Asterisk-Users] bandwith issues, ISP hosting services, etc

[Dan Fernandez]

Actually, when I do a ping to cisco.com (from Argentina or Uruguay) I can
get up to 190ms. In fact, you get better reponses from here to the US than
to many other countries around the area. Most ISPs here have decent
Satellite connection to the US.

In general, with that type of delays the call quality is still decent.
