So what do you personally do?  Live with a single VoIP provider?  Use a 
PSTN provider?

P.S.:  An Orginiation provider is someone who handles incoming calls from 
the PSTN and forwards them to you via VoIP?  And a Termination provider is 
someone who handles outgoing calls from you via VoIP and forwards them to 
the PSTN?  That seems exactly backwards to me.  If the above is correct, I 
guess it goes right along with the whole FXS/FXO and DCE/DTE thing...  ;)
