Re: [asterisk-biz] VoIP Provider Matrix of rates/services

Dave,
I can comment on 100ms delay remark, that it is not always true. We have call center customers who have 180 - 220ms  and are happy.
There are other factors besides latency which can effect quality, so I do not  completely agree with your comment

moshe, nitzan,
I already compiled a list from website info... not totally complete though.  all public info w/o calls to providers...  

really, I wanted the providers to update the matrix themselves over the web so they could control the information.. the biggest reason I don't think they should have a problem with it is they all don't cover the entire world or the US either.  some servers have too much delay, over 100ms, so any customers they have outside their 'local network area' would get poor service and they shouldn't want to waste their time if they can't provide the service to those customers...  knowing that info tidbit saves face and bad will...  helps the community too!

any additional thoughts?

The best would be in the spirit of web 2.0  - a list of providers, which  would have data, that partially be filled in by the companies (like voip-info has), but also have an active user rating system.   Nitzan Kon wrote:   

It is a good idea, and I would love to have a list of wholesale providers readily available so I can pick and choose the ones I like most according to price & support criteria.  The problems with this are, well, half the providers I've contacted in the past request that you sign a non-disclosure agreement, and the other half act like their rates a big secret, and only disclose them upon request. I think this has a lot to do with providers being worried about competition, but in the end if you provide overpriced service with bad quality/support customers WILL find someone better whether you publish your rates or not.  You could always start a matrix by yourself... the only problem with this is that you won't be able to publish providers who require a non-disclosure agreement. But then again- 9 times out of 10 those are bad quality and overpriced. I would avoid those anyway despite any (false) promises they might make.    -- Nitzan  --- dave cantera <david.cantera@iacnet.net> wrote:   ---------------------------------   hi, I see frequent questions on the list for voip providers.  would it behelpful to have a voip provider matrix of services?   would the voip providers on the list support it? daveC   _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com--  asterisk-biz mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit:    http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz
