[asterisk-users] Terrible Experience Net2phone A-Z termination

[Igor H]

We don't do A-Z, our main source of revenue now is Cuba and a few
sections of Latin America. For those routes we've found you get a
better quality/price ratio by going directly to individual providers
that specialize in the particular areas you're looking for.

Although when we were looking around for decent a-z providers some
tested out pretty well. Nergy Telecom(http://www.nergytelecom.net/)
seemed to have pretty good quality for ok rates. Ipsmarx had one of
the worst a-z packages I've ever seen and group3(group3.ca) has really
cheap rates to a lot of destinations. The quality with them varies a
lot, some routes have horrible quality but for some destinations they
have really great quality for a good price.
