?Could you put their voice on wires (POTS/PRI/VoIP), and the rest of their data on fixed wireless? This doesn't necessarily give you any more calls per Kbps, but at least keeps voice and data independent. Wires for dependability, radio waves for bandwidth at the cost of some latency & packet loss.
There are a number of situations in which we do just this, but in doing so, and depending on the customers location, can price us out of the market. Such as a customer looking for >23 channels.
One consideration when using G.729 is how you're going to deliver it to a mostly non-G.729 world. Are your not-quite-broadband customers attached to some PBX that will handle it and send G.711 to your carriers? That's going to cost some CPU or dedicated transcoding hardware. Will your providers accept G.729 and transcode for you? Is there a cost for it? Or will your carriers blindly throw your G.729 at their LCR and hope something sticks?
We don't currently connect to any carrier via VoIP, all of the equipment to transcode G.711/G.729 -> T1 Trunking is already in place. Even in the event where we do connect to a carrier via VoIP, we'll transcode to G.711 (or other) before passing the call off.
