Rip-Off or Reality?

Interesting.

I currently have a PRI that I pay $600/month for, but I'm ditching it in a month or so for the SIP trunks I already have as well that cost me around $300 a month unlimited mins.

$600 is too much for a PRI. Was it a integrated circuit or straight PRI?
If you are ordering 23 SIP trunks to match the call path quanity of your existing PRI then $300 is resasonable

Straight PRI. When I asked about better pricing, they just looked at me like a deer in headlights. When I called another local vendor.. same response.

I think the SIP might be 20, burstable to something like 30.

@Dashrender Those damn PRI vendors SMH. I may be able to to find something (SIP) a little more afordable. Hang tight

It's OK, management does not want to go with a over the internet based SIP. She's just legacy minded and currently unwilling to let go.

What about access to Non-Profits?

That's just painful. You've done you're job tho, good for you.

@gjacobse Depends on what state but a lot of carriers do abide by certain programs for Non-profits. In CA a big one is the California Teleconnect Fund

@Dashrender that's unfortunate.

One nice thing though - pricing for unlimited is really good, and the vendor is responsible all the way into my building to their gateway device.

@Dashrender Nice!
