I don't know anyone who sells PRI ports for less than 100$/port/month even at level of 10 DS3s worth commit (as in, 280 trunks). So, if someone is offering 23 concurrent calls for less than 60$/month, they are losing money.
add capex cost: a proper switch, say, 8000 concurrent calls, will cost you ~200k$. At 36 month lease, that's roughly 6k$/mo lease payment. Cost of taking up 23 out of 8000 ports represents roughly 20$/month additional. _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-biz mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz
