Some providers are a wholesale provider. Their business is
engineered around selling to people that move hundreds of thousands
or millions of minutes a month. That's not a TrixBox installation.
I am still building my own business, but I plan to sell into many
different markets. I will have to engineer my business towards these
on the various markets.
There are indeed two kinds of use, perhaps I labeled them wrong.
Wholesale and retail. A wholesale operator sells DIDs, minutes,
channels, etc. A retail operator sells packages. A wholesale user
says give me an account, perform interoperability tests, goes live,
and doesn't bother support. A retail user requires much more
handholding, thus needs to be priced higher.
Yes, SellVoip made a mistake and they need to resolve this. However,
the user needs to select the appropriate provider and conduct their
due diligence before selecting their provider.

You are sadly mistaken. Trixbox user does not equal "hobbyist".
There are plenty of people using Trixbox in production
environments. Why should they deserve less quality/service from
vendors? I use AAH/TB internally at three different locations.
It does everything I want it to do and more. I know we run over
4,000 minutes a month out of this office. Granted, it is not
Fortune 500 size, but it is not "hobbyist" either.
Why only two categories of users, wholesale and hobbyist? There
are alot of people who I would consider fall between those two
categories. (Like the kind of people who you sell VoIP service
to http://www.ics-il.com/voip.php.) So, would you knowlingly not
sell service to someone because they were using TB?
Whether they should have marketed directly to TB users or not is
irrelevant, the fact is they did.

They probably shouldn't have marketed to such a user, but
alas everyone makes mistakes. One could only hope that they
stayed more focused on the wholesale user than the hobbyist.

Is this the same sellVoIP that is catching hell over at
the Trixbox forums?

Sounds like you need to get your act together first
before you start offering specials to get new victims,
err customers.
