What's the point in using TDM anymore. Your problem with the quality isn't with VoIP itself, but what it's running over. Make the network the VoIP is running over better.

If money was not a consideration then why would you go with SIP at all unless it is coming over point to point data links? Global Crossing offers SIP service but the cost is basically the same as TDM (at least with our agreement) and comes as dedicated bandwidth. The upside of this is no TDM equipment on our end such as Sangoma or Digium cards and dedicated servers to translate our DS3 (28 T1s) into SIP (a fairly large hardware investment, although, small in the TDM world). I also assume that calls delivered by a major carrier over dedicated lines would have absolutely no echo issues and negligable ping times as well (another huge plus).

Why risk SIP over the public internet if money is not a consideration but quality is? The answer there is TDM.

That being said, if money *is* an issue but so is quality (knowing the trade-offs, ins and outs of VoIP), who can offer origination and termination with LNP of 1,000 toll free numbers and approx 5million minutes a month? Mostly inbound toll free for a call center application and outbound of about 1million minutes (quickly ramping up) of outbound LD to the US 48 for a calling card application? We could easily see 10 million minutes in the next six months or so.

On top of that, who if anyone can offer a co-lo in the DC metro area (other areas considered) to keep latency down?

If anyone can do that, I would LOVE to talk to you.

Thanks,
Steve

I have multiple partners that are USA based companies and resell USA Tier 1 networks such as Verizon/MCI, Level 3/Broadwing, Qwest and Global Crossing. Most of these resellers have no minimum commitment, bill by LATA/OCN and can mix and match underlying carriers for both cost effectiveness and redundancy. Please contact me to discuss a program that could be a great fit for you. At least give me an opportunity.
