asterisk users - Sep 2004 - Help: global (India/US) connection too expansive

I am trying to set up VOIP link between India and US using *.  I talked to 2
small carrier and they both suggested me to go with a very expansive ($15,000 a
month) dedicated point to point solution which i can not effort. They said that
this is the only way to guarantee the quality of service. Is it?

Does anyone know about a better less expansive solution?

Is there any company out there that can give me a guarantee  QOS without using
dedicated point to point (i.e what if we go a dedicated T1 connection to the
Internet in both in USA and India using the same provider. can they provide a
guaranteed QOS that will be good enough? anyone has experience doing it?

One more option is to use a service such as Vontage but i wanted to get a way
from the per call cost.

Thanks for your help,

Mike

Hi Mike,

Several companies including MCI can set up a frame or Internet VPN the cost
is a little more than internet connection but I believe they will guarantee
QOS.
