[VOP RADIUS] Ikano.

[Ron]

I don't have any hard facts regarding Ikano but judging from there literature I had these thoughts:   <? // Begin Rambling //   1. There numbers list comes from http://dialup.ispnetbilling.com, Albeit they are the same network, why have they decided to seperate themselves? Liability perhaps? 2. They offer pass through radius from Quest, Level 3 etc. This means that by the time the packets get to your Radius server they have already passed through at least two servers (if not more). Try finding that point of failure when you are losing packets. 3. I know first-hand that Quest charges Wholesalers for over the limit usage (150 hours) and that is passed on to you. Granted the average person is on for 32 hours per month, what kind of tally are they keeping? Are they combing users or is it on a user to user basis. What happens when you get to 150 hours? Do they just black-hole that user? They have a 150 hour limit with Level 3? Huh. 4. Let's say a user dials in on a Quest network AND a Level 3 network, am I double charged? Certainly Ikano would be. 5. Big boys like Quest give you a deal on higher user percentages, Why would you spread yourself over 18 different companies? 6. Prepaid eh? How does that work? 7. And last but not least, If it sounds too good to be true, It probably is.   // End Rambling // ?>   Ron Fitzgerald Soon to be JadeView.com
