[asterisk-biz] Tier 1 SIP Providers?

Looking into how SIP providers work it seems like many of the companies
are reselling SIP service from bigger providers. Does it make sense
that you then run into issues using these smaller companies since there
are more HOPS added into the mix, since you need to access them, then
they need to send you over to the main reseller?

The reason I'm asking is we always seem to run into outages and issues
with most of the SIP providers we've used so far. Either the quality
isn't that great or we experience random downtime; so now I'm trying to
figure out the most logical setup to have for our outbound calling system.

We have the flexibility of putting our servers anywhere; that being said
would it make sense for us to find a tier 1 or high quality SIP, and
somehow host our servers in the same datacenter as them?

Keep in mind we only do outbound voice broadcasting from sound files
stored on our servers. So we're not connecting our system to phone
lines or using it for inbound calls.

Any insight on the best setup would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Dave
