Nope. I've used Switchvox for a few years now, and it's been a decent product. In my opinion, it balances the power of VoIP technology w/ an ease of installation and maintenance that hits a nice cross section for my customer base.

Switchvox hosted edition allows an ITSP (such as myself) to setup a large box w/ multiple instances of Switchvox running on it, achieving a consolidation ratio of about 20:1 (I.E. 20 Virtual PBX systems on 1 piece of physical hardware). This gives me the ability to control the access to the customer and reduce the delivery of mission critical VoIP over the public Internet. In our case, we slap a box in w/ SV Hosted Edition, and light up 20 T-1 lines to 20 branch offices, yet we charge a per-seat cost to the user on a monthly basis. They benefit from not having any physical equipment on site, and we benefit because we can reduce the amount of equipment in our datacenter (power, cooling, cabling needs) by a factor of 20. I believe that Fonality's hosted model makes the re-seller host on equipment in Fonality's datacenter, which means you have to traverse the public internet (w/ no QOS) to reach their equipment. Please, someone correct me if I'm wrong? _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-biz mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz _____ Be a better pen pal.
