That is it exactly.  There is a privacy bit that is set and odds are
their new carrier is ignoring that and sending it in the SIP setup (my
guess is that broadvoice does VoIP to their carrier just as they did
with global crossing, many carriers now offer that usually over a VPN,
but sometimes a dedicated circuit to the carrier)..

This is more than likely the fault of their carrier and not broadvoice,
as sip doesnt support the privacy bit, caller id is there or its not.

As for the name that is often dont via a CNAM lookup rather than being
sent from the originating carrier, if the CNAM fails it may set it to
the funy info..  Either that or BV has a default if its not sent from
their provider.  I cant say.

dslreports.com and voxilla have some interesting articles including
direct dials to people like the CTO, manager of tech support and other
people.  No more waiting in queues, although my guess is they would get
upset if you call higher ups directly instead of going in the queue.
