[VoiceOps] thinQ is making hay while Bandwidth is down

[Carlos Alvarez]

It would be great if that LCR actually saved you any money, but it's just a
gimmick.  During the Bandwidth fiasco we sent all our term to them, and the
cost feels like it's doubled or more.  I didn't do a real numbers check,
just a glance tells me it's at least double the Bandwidth rate.
