asterisk users - Feb 2008 - Suggestions for reliable DID provider for Canada, USA and Europe

I posted the same question on asterisk-biz mailing list but didn't have much
response. So I am posting it here now.

I need a good, reliable and stable DID provider for USA, Canada and Europe.
I prefer to have fixed monthly rates for incoming and outgoing calls and not
per minute charges.

Features I need to get with DIDs are:

1. my own caller ID and caller name on outbound calls
2. multiple channels per DID
3. g729 coded
4. canreinvite=yes option
5. IAX protocol

Those who are already in this business, please advise me whom to go with. Is
getting a virtual PRI a good solution? From their websites, they all look
good so its hard to decide who is really good and will not disappear like
Allo, or start giving voice quality issues.

Thanks,

I used TelIAX for a while and was happy with the service.  I used it  
for testing before we connected to our PRI...

I'm using vitelity and junction for incoming, voipjet and voicepulse for 
outgoing.  You can set your outgoing caller-id with either provider; you 
can not set your name.  vitelity is the only provider I know of (other 
than consumer-grade providers like vonage) who provide incoming CID 
name.  There are better solutions for that anyway.

Which Area codes are you looking for? Is this a multiple Exchange. I use
Link2voip but they don't scale well unless you're running a hobby. The
best
solution is to get your PRI T1 from a telco.
