I'm talking with them to start setting up a wholesale sip trunk with them. The rates look great. In the past it seems they were mainly a Level3 reseller. However now that they are a CLEC, have they mixed in other carriers as well? Whats the general opinion of them?
They are an extremely common origination and termination source and are probably in use by a high percentage of people on this list. I would say origination is more common than termination, but they do both. Most of their stuff is still Level3, as far as I can tell, but they did develop some CLEC holdings in 2009 and have been busily porting large amounts of numbers out of Level3 and onto their own network. At the time when this process first started, there were definitely some hiccups, but it seems pretty stable these days. Because they are such a large and ubiquitous vendor, opinions are to some extent irrelevant; people don't use them out of endearment, but because of the terms and the footprint. Last I heard their minimums for wholesale termination were pretty hefty, but that may have changed or just not be the case for you. -- Alex Balashov - Principal Evariste Systems LLC 1170 Peachtree Street 12th Floor, Suite 1200 Atlanta, GA 30309 Tel: +1-678-954-0670 Fax: +1-404-961-1892 Web: http://www.evaristesys.com/
