Yes, this is the same behavior I'm seeing with Broadvoice.  What seems 
to make it even worse for this is that when callers receive my outgoing 
call, its showing the correct CID for the outgoing line, but the Name 
that is showing is always 'BroadVoice'.  I asked them to have this 
changed to my company name, but it doesn't seem to have had any affect. 
  I suspect that there is some master database somewhere that recipient 
phones lookup based on the number to get the name?  If so, its not 
correctly identifying our company name on phones so I'm looking for 
alternative outbound carriers for this.  The inbound, however, works 
well.  I'm sure its not the least expensive option out there but so far 
its been pretty good.
