@ $7 is a decent price for this type of service, keeping in mind that the whole picture could be different once the one time charges and any minimum commits are taken into account.
Figure about $3-$4 per sub as a 'cost' of platform. $1 for DID + Caller ID lookup, and the rest would be used for mou's, I am assuming that taxes & fees along with E911 charges would be over and above the $7. At the end of the day it is going to be about Volume, i.e. 100 subs vs 1000 subs, somewhere about $2500-3k/month spending the balance between doing the flat rate style arrangement vs taking the risk on mou arbitrage will start to change. In regards to a 'local' provider, vlan providing quality would not be accurate, and quite possibly a myth. It only would address a very small portion of the actual path.. The quality greatly depends on the providers setup, i.e. how many codec conversions are taking place in the Voice path, and what is the network connectivity to the VOIP to TDM gateway or Sonus/ACME Switch path looks like. Folks commonly mistake in looking at the network path to the Proxy, or the call control data path, while the actual quality of the Voice is dependent on the network path of the Voice traffic, which is not the same as the call control traffic. It has taken a long time to learn the intricacies of VOIP, what affects it and how to identify them. We will be more than happy to work with you on this project of that makes sense.
