Find someone who can offer you connectivity with QoS and then has QoS across their network for VoIP traffic. Or find someone with infinite bandwidth.

Haven't used them, but on my travels have come across: http://www.magrathea-telecom.co.uk Like I said, I don't know anything about them, but seem to remember that they are an IAX provider.

Thanks Tan. I will look into it my end. Unfortunately it isn't happening from just one location, and a variety of phones. The quality used to be perfect, the odd call would be a little jittery/choppy, but now most are like that, I am running asterisk stable with eicon diva cards. 3.0Ghz dell 2GB ram. 1 1 ms 2 ms 1 ms 10.5.0.1 2 17 ms 14 ms 14 ms 195.10.119.94 3 17 ms 14 ms 14 ms 195.10.119.158 4 22 ms 14 ms 15 ms 217.23.160.1 5 15 ms 15 ms 31 ms 217.23.162.122 6 17 ms 15 ms 14 ms 217.23.160.85 7 19 ms 18 ms 14 ms 217.23.160.186 8 30 ms 26 ms 29 ms tier1-1.BUD2.psie.net [154.14.68.113] 9 31 ms 39 ms 29 ms linx1.teleglobe.net [195.66.224.51] 10 26 ms 28 ms 30 ms if-0-0-0.bb2.London.Teleglobe.net [195.219.96.81 ] 11 59 ms 87 ms 108 ms ix-3-1-0-822.bb2.London.Teleglobe.net [195.219.2 .34] 12 76 ms 54 ms 54 ms wi2.westloc.com [82.145.32.2] 13 229 ms 239 ms 187 ms wc3-10.westloc.com [82.145.32.73] Trace complete. I don't know if asterisk is reporting this right, but all day on the console I am seeing voiptalk unreachable, then 5 secs later reachable?

What is better is to look at the exact route of your calls and then determine whether maybe there are some other issues. For instance, we had a customer with Ciscos who was reporting choppy audio. However, this was down to a bug in asterisk (http://bugs.digium.com/bug_view_page.php?bug_id=0001374) and cvs updating fixed the problem.

Hahahhaaa your right there Tan. List, don't get me wrong, voiptalk are very good, service, support, price, I am just having some issues which may be my end. I was just wanting to try some iax providers out to see what worked best for us. Hopefully will get sorted. -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-admin@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-admin@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of tan@yointernet.com Sent: 21 April 2004 16:02 To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Subject: RE: [Asterisk-Users] Help choosing a UK IAX provider In the UK, with the sort of equipment that BT has in its network, you're lucky to even get adsl going through! ISPs can only provide QoS up to a certain boundary. After that it is out of their control!
