[asterisk-biz] VoIP Provider Matrix of rates/services

[Moshe Maeir]

Actually in the countries I work in (we have servers in 3 countries, 
including the one you mention) the norm is 8ms - 20ms. However
we do have customers farther away and they go up to 200 and sometimes 
even more.
All I am saying is that latency is only one factor, and there are others 
such as packet loss, jitter etc.

Not to mention termination where results can be all over the ballpark no 
matter how close "your provider" is to you...
