Yeah but it appears that Teliax just charges you if cross that limit for every minute you go over. So it's not a soft limit, that is just marketing spin. It's a hard limit. Be so much nicer if Starbucks were to use small, medium and large and ITSPs would just advertise fixed minute plans as cap'd minute plans. Never ever use the term "unlimited" unless you mean it.

At least the soft limit is explicitly published ("X Minutes") as opposed to most companies' policy of "There is a soft limit, and we will not tell you what it is, but if you reach or exceed it we will [charge you $100/day | terminate your service | switch you to a more expensive plan without notice]. I am sort-of searching for a new SIP/IAX trunk provider and I would much rather have a policy like Teliax's than the others.

    Teliax looks good - not comfortable with the soft limits but love the
