[VoiceOps] Arbitration or Peering?

[Mike Johnston]

Not sure if this is related or not, but I have been receiving an 
increase in complaints of calls not getting to my subscribers. The 
originators says they get ringing forever, ring a couple times then a 
tone and silence, and other such non-sense.  This is typical rural call 
completion issues.

Inteliquent handles all of my toll calls, inbound and outbound. In 
almost every case the originator is a VoIP provider that has no physical 
presence in my LATA.  Inteliquent says they have no record of the call.  
Of course they don't, I already assumed that, but I sometimes check with 
Inteliquent anyways.

I serve mostly rural portions of Northwest Minnesota.

The frequency of these complaints wax and wane over time.  Point being, 
I feel there has been a significant increase over the past several months.
