try setting a /etc/hosts entry for one of their proxy servers( I use 
147.135.12.128, 147.135.0.128 is not good) if you ping all their proxies and 
set the hosts entry to the fastest one this will help.  
ALSO you should know that there are MAJOR problems with broadvoice.  I have 
had an account with them for 3 months or so and at first all worked great, 
then the last month or so it has been very bad!   As of this morning i am 
getting no sound in either direction.  my asterisk box is getting and 
answering the call, playing the voice prompts that it should but I can not 
here them and it does not receive any DTMF.
