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.<br><br>It was not pretty.

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.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks!</p>
