[VoiceOps] Bandwidth vs Inteliquent

[Peter Beckman]

I've been happy with Bandwidth. Started with them mid-2015. They handle
most of our inbound and outbound calling and SMS. APIs do what we need for
the most part (there are some limits in viewing their inventory that I'm
not a fan of), SMPP connections never die, tickets get addressed quickly,
at least when the solution is straightforward.

I haven't used Inteliquent directly, so I cannot speak to the true
differences.

I hear that Inteliquent wins for termination, and though I can get coverage
in most places for Bandwidth on-net and Level3 off-net through Bandwidth,
Inteliquent, with their acquisition of Onvoy/Voyant/Vitelity over the past
few years, has coverage in more ratecenters. It just depends if you care
about small rural switches or smaller cities.

I'm sure the APIs are probably similar, though Bandwidth has several SDKs
available, and I have not been able to find mention of Inteliquent SDKs on
the Internet, and definitely not in GitHub.

I don't know of any resellers of Bandwidth that would allow you direct
access to the Bandwidth API. The API is based on Account and you'd have
access to the full reseller account.
