[cisco-voip] Are there any telco guy out there?

}  ... but just with the latency induced in the forwarding from one
}  telco to another.

What latency would that be?  It should be nothing more than the speed
of light from A to B.  One would assume that the two telcos involved 
are doing things in a traditional fashion; using digital interoffice
trunks.  If not you could be getting an analog circuit which would not
be ideal, or worse you could be getting some of that horrible VoIP
stuff.  :)

If you can reproduce it you should be able to get them to fix it.
Once you have a line you can call from which experiences the problem,
at least often enough to reproduce with a few attempts, you can feed
in a test signal (1004 Hz) and use a T1 test set at your location to
measure the received signal level.  If it's good there the telco guy
can go home and it's your problem, otherwise if it's degraded they
have to figure out where and why.
