I provide hosted PBX service to businesses. About a dozen of them. All

with my server :-(

As the remaining 10 places are working just fine, hence I am reluctant
to blame this failure on Asterisk.

Changes is firewall setting at customer site could be a cause, but very
unlikely that three of them decided to do that at the same time.
Moreover, I specifically asked all three of them and none of them have
messed up with their routers.

Only thing common among them is that they all have business DSL from
Verizon. Could it be that, possibly inadvertently, Verizon is doing
something that is blocking VoIP? In any case, how to to find out why
VoIP is not working?
In this case, all the clients have Polycom phones, about 30 among all
three.

Thanks,

When the FCC deregulated the phone companies, Verizon took this as an OK to put the competition out of business.

They did this to some DSL companies here in the northeast by placing fiber shunts in the system and blocking dsl access (dsl does not work over fiber) so the dsl companies could not service a fairly large segment of the population "sorry but dsl is not available in your area".

They are currently working on local telco companies, by providing intermittant service to their customers, with a follow up phone call to switch to Verizon for better service!

VIOP is a threat to their phone business, which appears to be a cash cow, and they certainly will try to protect "Their" investment.
