[kwlug-disc] Whats some good Sip providers.

[unsolicited]

Others will chime in, but the two best regarded at the moment are 
http://voip.ms/, only recently, barely, and perhaps not even, edging 
out http://www.unlimitel.ca/temp/ (recently bought out by ... 
somebody, I forget.)

Other top contenders are http://eyesurf.net/ and IIRC teksavvy (but I 
forget for sure, but it was an ISP) http://teksavvy.com/en/default.asp.

At the least, eyesurf and teksavvy are much like bell / rogers home 
phone, probably with more.

unlimitel is roll your own. voip.ms is attractive because it's 
'asterisk in the clouds', but both of these are well regarded in 
working with your home voip / asterisk / free<something> systems.

Others just plug unlimitel into their SPA device and get on with their 
day.
