[asterisk-users] anyone using SIP trunks from Time Warner Telecom?

[Forrest Beck]

We use TWTelecom (NC), and the SIP trunks are available.  We don't  
use the service however, so I can't be much help.  We decided to  
continue using our PRI because I wanted to control echo  
cancellation.  (6Mb EIS, 2 PRI's, and 10Mb NLAN).  I will say I am  
extremely happy with their service.  We get a couple hurricanes  
through the year, and their service never fails.

I was told that Asterisk was supported when we looked at the  
service.  That It was just a SIP user and Asterisk should register to  
it.  I would assume that they would honor the QoS value in the  
header.  since they are the next hop, they may assign there own value  
to the packet.  They should be able to let you know, if you cal tech  
support.

I know the QoS value is honored on our NLAN link (Point to Point  
between locations).

I would be interested to see how you like the service, if you end up  
evaluating it.
