[asterisk-biz] 800 Provider recommendation

[Bart Fisher]

Just wondering...  Who pays for the Internet Loop?  At 13.10 per trunk 
is 2 x more than TDM unless it include bandwidth too
For example on GBX, I paid 161.00 per T1 x 3 = 483.00  - Using 13.10 x 
72 = $943
The rate is a bit better, but saving is lost in trunk charges.
