[asterisk-biz] What do you pay for PRI in the US?

Tue Apr 17 06:03:08 MST 2007

We don't actually bring TDM to us.  We use dedicated ports from tier 1
carriers to provide our inbound.  They come in lots of 300.  On this product
you are guaranteed your inbound ports.  Also the SLA is 4 hours.  And yes
with this product a customer can choose to have it handed off as a PRI via
Cisco IAD.

|Brian,
|
|That response is not very reassuring.
|
|A T3 should give you 672 channels, or, 665 if you are terminating to
|quad T1 cards using one channel for NFAS. How are you interconnected to
|get such a round number of 600?
|
|If I am forking out that much money for a "Virtual PRI", I want it in
|writing that you have some sort of "Gold Standard" in place. I want
|every channel that is promised and paid for to be available at any time,
|guaranteed.
|
|Otherwise, how do I know that you are not operating like some of the web
|hosting companies that put hundreds of websites on a single server? That
|is not the impression that I get from you or your company, but what is
|in the SLA, if anything, concerning this?
|
|Thanks,
|Steve
