Just thought I would post this in case someone might benefit from it. I've been looking high and low for a provider that has good quality and good service for a lower volume account, such as a home office or a personal account with a couple of DID's and maybe some intl long distance. What I've found is that the guys offering good quality are all after the business market. That basically means you need around $100 month or so minimum to use them.
On the other end you have the pay as you go model. Good rates and sometimes good quality, but service really suffers just due to the fact that you can't possibly provide good service for what most of these guys charge. I understand that so I don't blame anyone when the service isn't all that great. I cannot find anything in between. It just doesn't exist, or at least it's very hard to find. Personally what I would love is someone that would give me good service, charge me more, but be in line with a home office/personal account. Say now I pay $20 a month for some long distance and a couple of DID's. I'd be happy to pay an extra $20 a month for better customer support. Maybe it's time for a subscription model for BYOD more along the lines of vonage, or even a premium support option where I can pay an extra $20 per month. For providers that just deal with real businesses it's a different story. I haven't had a problem finding what I need in that area. But for SOHO/personal accounts it's been a real challenge.
