PESQ test results
by zavoid＠gmail.com March 1, 2017

March 1, 2017

Hey All, For those of you doing pro-active PESQ score testing in the US. How much fluctuation do you normally see our expect on your results? 4.1 to 4.35 for example. That seems like a large swing to me... Was looking for opinions from others on or off list. Thanks Colin

Ordering from the Large Competitive Carriers
by marylou＠backuptelecom.com Feb. 28, 2017

Feb. 28, 2017

Has anyone noticed a decline in the willingness of the larger carriers like CenturyLink, Earthlink, Level 3, Windstream, and XO, etc to provide wholesale services, such as transport, Ethernet, Fiber, Voice services, etc to your company? Have you seen any of these big carriers pull out of markets in the last year that they were previously serving? Have you seen them increase the rates for these services so much that it takes all the profitability out of offering it to your customers? If so, please private message me with the details of which company did it and what services you attempted to order from them.

SD-WAN experience?

Hi, Is anyone deploying one of the SD-WAN offerings for VOIP? We've tested a few, like VeloCloud the best.

Reporting tool for Asterisk CDRs
by caalvarez＠gmail.com Feb. 22, 2017

Feb. 22, 2017

Yes, I could Google it, but I often get so much more from the experience and opinions here. We have a customer asking for some reporting capabilities such as total calls and call time for specific extensions. Nothing really complex. Probably 70 handsets, and they just need to know how the customer service team is doing (report of calls/time for five phones), sales team, etc.

Escalating a problem with a Cox routing error
by caalvarez＠gmail.com Feb. 16, 2017

Feb. 16, 2017

I've done that, but they're NOC guys, they don't really give a damn. That's why I was trying to find some sort of escalation level, or an "inside guy." Our customer confirmed that they simply can't bug their customer to do it. I'm thinking maybe a demand letter sent certified? I've already had to do that once, they ported out OUR main number, and we made a monetary demand after snapping it back. They paid.

Escalating a problem with a Cox routing error
by caalvarez＠gmail.com Feb. 16, 2017

Feb. 16, 2017

The port completed over a year ago. Everyone we call at Cox says it works, because they do their testing from their Vegas switch, but only the Phoenix switch has issues. I guess I'm going to fall back on telling our customer that a Cox customer has to complain.

We have a customer who ported us/Onvoy from Cox. Nobody in the local area with Cox lines can call them, so clearly they didn't remove the numbers from their switch. But their NOC is in Vegas, and they *can* call these numbers. So they claim there's no problem on their end. Onvoy says they never see these calls, so clearly it's a Cox issue. Cox won't really respond to me much because I'm not their customer. Any ideas?

2600Hz's Kazoo Platform
by mdiaz＠vinixglobal.com Feb. 10, 2017

Feb. 10, 2017

Kazoo platform user here. Previous to starting our own ITSP, we did SIP work for public telecoms such as ATT, Windstream, Cbeyond, etc. When Kazoo became a concept I was a strong supporter. Started using since it inception.. approx. 4-5 years ago. Kazoo has had the same growing pains in the past as you would have with any startup. However for the past 2 years now it has been production stable and our customers are very happy with the product. Furthermore, feedback from new clients have confirmed that it is the best of the demos they see when compared to competitors. Currently we have a distrubited cluster running multiple zones in 6 regions for fault tolerance, redundancy and high availability. While the 2600hz team has been benevolent to open-source the base platform, close source apps such as their Call Center and Operator Panel apps have been quite popular and the 2600hz team is refreshingly responsive their support. Hope that helps, if there's anything missing I'll be happy to submit my input.
