I think if someone put together a site like dslreports that allowed people to rate their experince with a ITSP and record the latency, carrier/network etc . . . then it would be helpful in shopping for an ITSP.<br><br><br>

There is also the issue of origin of the caller. Not just<br>geographically, but which network provider they use, and to some degree<br>when. Most ISPs see higher traffic volumes when school gets out for the<br>day (abnout 3pm) continuing for a few hours, then gradually declining
<br>until its later (11pm or so). As a result, a call made at 10am may have<br>totally different characteristics from one made at 6pm (when both school<br>kids and working adults tend to get home).<br><br>As such the problem may not be the VoIP provider but with the network of
<br>the person sending the call, or a tertiary provider in between the two.<br>Therefore I suggest that if such a list is done, people will include who<br>their provider is, and whether they have had problems in the mornings,
<br>evenings, dead of night, etc. That way the list can be as fair as<br>possible to all providers.<br><br>And if you can search for providers from your geographic location off<br>your provider, you can filter out the ones that are known to be bad from
<br>your location and network.<br><br><br><br>On Tue, 2006-07-11 at 21:03 -0400, mike wrote:<br>> i'll be very interested in that<br>> it would also be useful that every qos rate comply with some<br>[snip]<br><br>>
