It's a balancing act, to be sure.  Your customer will of course say that
the rest of the Internet works fine, it's just your VoIP service that is
failing.  "I can get to Google and Yahoo, so there's nothing wrong with
my Internet, but your phone doesn't work."

For one-off remote phones, setting SIP transport to TCP is often a good
workaround by the way.
