[asterisk-biz] VoIP Provider

[Remco Barende]

Well, it all depends on where you are located, a provider in Australia 
isn't going to do you much good if you are located in Europe, the latency 
will kill the quality.

I am using magrathea and from time to time they have the exact same 
problem, it usually lasts from anything between an afternoon and 2 days. 
The problem is not in the connection from my server between magrathea and 
I have this issue with multiple servers in entirely different 
locations/connections.  The strange thing is that for me it only happens 
on European destinations, calls to Japan or India are crystal clear. Call 
quality to Germany, Switzerland, Austria and France sucks most of the 
time mostly because of echo.

I also tried voxmundi but the sound quality was a bit too dull to my 
taste even though I was using ulaw/alaw.

When you look at the WIKI B2B page most you will find are providers really 
only suitable for home use, under The Netherlands for example a company 
like Talkin2Ya is listed. More expensive than even our Royal Dutch Telecom 
and not a word about simultaneous connections....... And such companies 
are listed under wholesale, hah!

I would also be interested in a good quality, business grade carrier, 
pereferably one with low latency from Europe but far enough away that they 
do not have to fulfill the obligation of the new european telecomm law 
that forces carries to keep a copy of all conversations.....
