Well there is a difference between saying something like "unlimited minutes" and then not allowing someone to use the channels 24/7. If you dont want people to use it 24/7 dont call it unlimited :) In the case of DIDs if you say unlimited channels, how many people doing 1000 channels as a joke (or perhaps they are doing it to "reverse wardial" where they spoof caller id to get CNAM results passed along but never answer so it costs them nothing - something that some providers bundle in - hint broadvoice *will* cancel you after a day or two of doing that or so a friend tells me who was doing this :) They do not have to answer the phone to cause the PSTN circuit to be allocated, just placing the call does that. This can cause congestion on the PSTN and the carrier there may not be happy about it and may decide that things have to be mitigated to prevent others from having affected service. If they dont at some point "all circuits are busy" errors will be reported to callers somewhere, either to the circuit that feeds you, or to the circuit that feeds the PSTN switch, either way. With the recent phone related DDoS attacks against hte church of scientology where they intentionally tried to flood the systems so the phone lines were always busy, it goes to show that having the wrong customer can cause this as well, and it can affect your other customers. -- Trixter http://www.0xdecafbad.com Bret McDanel Belfast +44 28 9099 6461 US +1 516 687 5200 http://www.trxtel.com the phone company that pays you! _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- AstriCon 2008 - September 22 - 25 Phoenix, Arizona Register Now: http://www.astricon.net asterisk-biz mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz
