thanks for the reply. why are residential lines cheaper than businesses?
say for unlimited, it always costs more for residential.

    for about 6 months and its been very reliable. The only annoying
    thing is that they only support SIP connections. The rumour is that
    they may eventually offer an IAX2 based account for Asterisk
    users...but I've not yet heard if this is actually going to happen.

    FWIW, I ported my DIDs to Nuvio so that's where my incomming calls
    come from. I split my outgoing calls across Nuvio, Nufone & Voxee.

    I spoke to a voip provider today who mentioned that though they
    offer an unlimited plan, if we use it for a business and it is
    over-utilized, it will be canceled.

    is this true for all residential voip plans? i have a small office
    of about 4 or 5 phones. i tend to chose residential plans because
    they have the unlimited offer for outgoing/incoming.

    thx


Typically a business offering costs more because the provider offers
higher availability, reliability, call quality, etc...

That's not true at all. I worked for a large telco for 20+ years (in all engineering disciplines), and the only reason business plans are more expensive then residential plans is that businesses generate more traffic. More traffic translates into more infrastructure costs (eg, central office equipment, trunks, etc).

Businesses and homes generally use cable pairs (or fiber) out of the same cable, use the same central office line cards, etc. There is no difference in terms of availability, reliability or call quality.
