I figured they'd have to be stable for Google to be using them for Google
Voice. But with them doing changes to migrate DIDs from Level3 to
themselves, it makes me queezy. I had wondered if they were almost becoming
an MVNO of the CLEC world because ranges that used to be Level3 became
entirely Bandwidth.com owned instead of new ranges being provisioned.

They searched us out, so maybe high minimums didn't work out so well.

Thanks everyone for the input.
