This pretty much sums it up for me as well. Except that it took two
months for my DID to become active. On the other hand, I've had zero
downtime and my 800 number was active within a day. I'm not noticing any
problems with call quality either. They claimed in an email from early
June to have instituted a new support responsiveness guarantee, but like
I said earlier, since the DID went active I've had zero (!) problems.

The server that you would be connecting to is iax2.sixtel.net, so run a
few tracroutes from your site.

Best,
Dave
