Well, cost is going to be a major issue. I've found pricing for T1/PRI voice circuits to be much more costlier than than VoIP, not to mention the hardware costs. However, you'll find, on average that the reliability of a T1/PRI to be much greater than VoIP.
In my experience, if you're not doing a large volume and/or need 99.999% reliability, stick with the VoIP. It's much cheaper, you generally don't get locked into 3 year contracts and the quality and reliability isn't terrible in most cases. You can always get a POTS line if you want to do faxes.

I have a small business using Asterisk via a VOIP provider. I'm contemplating getting my own T1 line. My question is what benefits would having my own T1 line offer over a VOIP provider? I'm assuming the quality would be better on a T1 line as my calls wouldn't be routed through the Internet. I also like to be able to use the T1 line for faxing & predictive dialing. -- Jack _______________________________________________ --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
