I for one would appreciate if you would not conflate "mom-and-pop"
service providers with unreliable ones. Small providers, allowing for
obvious limitations, can be quite reliable. The examples of poor
performance you cite are not exclusively in the domain of small
providers.<br>

No-hassle business practice. I need to be able to put up a DID in a
reasonable amount of time, with some sort of certainty that it will
happen. If your second job is being a VoIP wholesaler and you happen
to put up the DIDs at night, whenever you're not busy playing video
games, DON'T ANSWER. I need some stability, because my customers need
stability too. I can't afford to have a guy dissapear from the radar
for a week without warning.</font></span></div>

I have to say, there are too many mom-and-pop shops around and I
wouldn't mind some sort of scoringh system for providers. I've been
leaving emails at some VoIP termination providers and not getting calls
back (for a week!), people with no phone numbers (that doesn't look too
serious people, especially in the VoIP business)...Time to get serious.</font></span></div>
