[Asterisk-Users] origination providers

[mike castleman]

I'm not entirely sure what you're asking. The application in question
will involve setting up asterisk in a datacenter where we already have a
fair amount of bandwidth. As far as the DID provider's portion of the
bandwidth, I assume that they would account for this in the rate they
quote us.

I'm just asking the list if they have any good experiences with 
origination providers, as my attempts to get them just to return my 
calls have not been successful.

If it's relevant, I imagine gsm or speex codec for this application, but 
haven't yet made a decision.
