asterisk users - Jan 2010 - Canadian call quality issue

hello,

 we have been using a couple of US based
 VoIP providers for outbound calls completed
 within the US, without any issues.

 We recently started making calls to Canada
 and have received a few complaints about
 the call quality.

 Questions :

  - Could this be because of the number of
    intermediate IP hops between us / our
    VoIP provider and the Canadian phone
    companies ?

  - Would choosing a Canadian VoIP provider
    address / resolve this issue ?

 Thank you in advance.

Going along the internet between us and canada doesn't add much
distance, but bouncing back and forth between east and west coast
does.
