[cisco-voip] SIP Provider Recommendations

[Lelio Fulgenzi]

I've seen the same thing here. In order to get SIP for our enterprise, we needed to buy internet access as well. They also said that we couldn't use more than 50% of that link for voice. So, if I needed 30MB for concurrent calls, I couldn't buy the 30MB option, I had to buy the 100MB option. 

It was not pretty. SIP is turning out to be expensive unless your ISP service provider can do your SIP.

This isn’t what you asked but I’ll chime in with my 2 cents… they require their own internet connection so that they can guarantee proper prioritization of the SIP traffic. If they simply send it to you over the Internet (with no QoS) when the associated quality issues arise customers tend to blame the SIP telco even though it is out of their control. 



IMHO you are better off purchasing the required Internet connection.

I’ve been looking around for a provider that will provide a sip trunk(s) with at least 10 concurrent calls, no requirement that they also provide the internet connection, and allow manipulation of outbound Caller ID. Most providers (VZ, Paetec, at&t, etc) require an internet connection from them. 

The only company I have found so far that seems to meet all these requirements is Broadvox. Does anyone have any experience with them and/or any other recommended providers? 

Thanks!
