[asterisk-users] CallWithUs Service?

[Steve Totaro]

Your best bet is to get your VoIP service through whoever your ISP is.  
If Global Crossing offered cheap VoIP (in comparision to some of their 
TDM offerings), I would consider it.  It's all IP in the core now 
anyways, no real reason to use TDM for the last mile. 

Maybe it has something to do with the number of simultaneous calls you 
can stuff down a data T1 using G729....

Thanks,
Steve
