Hi Simon, great folow up report, I'm very interested in call quality because whilst I've been using Packet8 from Australia the calls to the USA sound great but the calls to Australia sound below average (I'm assuming the routing goes from Australia-USA then back to Australia for termination).
I've stuck with it for the past 2 months because I'm about to relocate to the USA and as most of my calls are going to be Australia assume that the quality will be good. Looking forward to what you think of the Primus call quality.

Lingo $20/month unlimited service Thanks Wojciech and Stephan for the info. Maybe it's silly to reply to my own post, but I have since found much more info on the subject. 1. There is a thread about Lingo's service at dslreports here: http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,10442660~mode=flat Most info below is gathered from there. 2. It looks like the hardware they send you is: D-Link DVG-1120 VoIP gateway 3. Codecs used: G711, G729, and G723 -Controllable T.38 fax supported 4. Western European = UK, Germany, France, Italy, Ireland, Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Switzerland, Sweden, Finland, Austria, Luxembourg, Vatican City, Norway, Portugal, and Spain. Calls to mobile phones are not included. 5. Price: $19.95/month give unlimited calls to U.S.A., Canada, & Western Europe (see #4). Their current offer give the first 3 months for free. But there is a $29.95 activation fee and a $9.95 shipping fee. So basically the activation fee plus shipping is about $40. So in effect, you are really only getting one month of free service. If you enter a referrer's name and email address while signing up, both you and the referrer get a $25 credit to your account. I wish I would have known this when I signed up last night. But feel free to use my name and email while signing up so we can both get a $25 credit: Name: Simon Email: simonATsimondorfman.com (replace AT with @) 6. You can try the service for 30 days and get a full refund but you have to pay for shipping to send back their hardware. If you cancel service after 30 days but before 1 year, they will charge a $39.95 cancellation fee. But if you send back the hardware, they will waive the cancellation fee. I'll let y'all know how my experience goes with this service as soon as I get my hardware (3-5 biz days).
