While we do set high standards for our carriers, our most important message was the availability and professionalism of the staff. I didn't intend to imply that we were necessarily looking for the "cheapest" and I'm unable to find a direct reference of it in my request. Aside from our request that termination be at least below 0.01/minute, I didn't think we were requesting too much of this. I do respect your opinion, nonetheless and thank you for your feedback.

You set a very high standard for your suppliers which is fine. You will accept no less than a low price, high voice quality and superior customer service. That is great. But you also should think of your supplier. They are also in the business to make money. You write about your business culture. Let me tell you about ours. We want our suppliers to be profitable. That is very important to us, since we know that a profitable company can afford to supply good service. I don't understand how you expect a company to give you a low price ( $0.01 for your volume is very low) and at the same time make enough on your $300 a month to give you the service you expect. Our philosophy is to pay more, and at the same time charge higher prices. This method is a "win win" for all involved. Our suppliers make money, we make money and both of us can afford to give good service. At the same time our customers do not mind paying more since they feel that they are getting "their money's worth". Try paying more - it works!
