When you say sufficient capacity what, exactly, do you mean? We 
monitor our B channel utilisation and add PRIs whenever we see peak 
usage above 90% (note -- peak, not average). We aim for less than 0.1% 
blocking factor and have not yet come close.


Pretty cool. What tool do you use to monitor channel usage?

Cheers,
Jean-Michel.

Stuff we wrote ourselves. Unfortunately there were no good tools in 
Asterisk at the time we started delivering services and since B channel 
usage is the most important single metric for capacity planning, we had 
to devise something to keep close tabs on this.

M. Loiselle:

Bonjour!

We are a small VSP in Vancouver specialising in business VoIP services 
(only -- no residential/no wholesale) hosted on Asterisk with all the 
features normally associated with a customer-owned PBX.


Most of our customers are outside the VoIP world and therefore not 
likely to read your post. With Telus (the ILEC for British Columbia and 
Alberta) in a lock-out, VoIP providers are the only hope for many SMBs 
moving into new premises.


When you say sufficient capacity what, exactly, do you mean? We 
monitor our B channel utilisation and add PRIs whenever we see peak 
usage above 90% (note -- peak, not average). We aim for less than 0.1% 
blocking factor and have not yet come close.

I'm looking at 
switching VOIP providers, but want to ensure I move to a company with sufficient 
capacity.

Can any Canadian 
VOIP users post/email me with feedback on their providers?

I'll post the 
results for all to read..
