[Asterisk-Users] Voiceglo questions

[Cameron Palmer]

I cannot recommend using Voiceglo for a business. Unless ringing and DTMF 
start working in a sensible way. Call quality has been reasonable.

If you ignore that I would recommend:
g729 licenses for Asterisk
Broadband? Are you going to QoS to the broadband connection? How broad is 
your broadband?

It is very likely that some customers will notice you are on a VoIP 
system, because call quality with Voiceglo is very similar to a 
cellular phone. I would plan to test call quality with Voiceglo in a 
production situation quite thoroughly.
