[VoiceOps] What does you use for Hosted PBX and why?

[Carlos Alvarez]

We use plain Asterisk with 100% self-created code.  Why?  Flexibility and
speed to create things that make our customers stay with us forever.
Seriously we have about zero customer attrition, partly because of customer
service and partly because we can build anything they need, and it seems
like nobody else can.

The generic simple stuff that everyone uses is all created as objects
(macros and the like) which we can re-use very easily.  Customization is
hand coded or we just copy a similar customer's files and change them.
We're completely in control of our own destiny and results.

Someone else said something about having "only 10 outages" with some other
product.  I can't understand why that's good.  Our outages are zero.
Asterisk simply doesn't break.  It's in a VM that is mobile across our
carrier partner's network so we can move services instantly if needed, and
they can move our IPs instantly.
