Broavoice has their problems but to tell the truth, every time i have had a problem, i called them ans it was resolved. This is a better track record than with the PSTN providers.
I personally use Broadvoice as incoming and an secondary outgoing. I use voicepulse for my outgoing since they allow gsm. But once broadvoice allows gsm I will be using them for outgoing.
