<p class="MsoNormal">We were notified of a 700% rate increase on our SIGTRAN from our current provider today (this is 100% IP/SIGTRAN for ISUP routing), taking impact next year. Anybody have any thoughts on provider options? I am familiar with Syniverse and
TNS and will be reaching out to them.</p>
