Good morning Swinog,
we are looking for a new VoIP hoster that actually offers decent voice
quality, preferable even over hspa(+) based networks, working in the US,
Switzerland and South Korea.
Working := can receive / make phone calls well enough for daily use (I
am aware that VoIP should work everywhere, but in practice the quality
either in Switzerland or abroad or both is too poor to talk for long).
So far we are using telephoenix.com (reseller of $provider), but have
huge problems in terms of voice quality (even via wifi via dsl / cable).
I was wondering, if anyone can recommend a provider and also has tested
reachability in East Asia and North America?
Cheers,
Nico

Nico,
you may (and may not) get some improvement in voice quality if you
select a network-optimized codec, such as speex, iLBC, SILK, and so
on.
Most VoIP providers don't offer these codecs, because of their
complexity and required CPU power.
So, your best choice would be to install one or several VPS'es around
the globe, set up some VoIP server software, like FreeSWITCH or
Asterisk, and control the full communication between them and your
clients. Then these VPS'es would hand over the traffic to some local
PSTN providers.
So, this needs some engineering, customization, tests => $$$ :)
cheers,
stan

oh, and VoIP over 3G will always suffer in quality, because of
significant jitter imposed by 3G transport.

New subject: Reliable + Good quality VoIP Provider (US, Switzerland, Korea)
Thanks a lot everyone for the (offlist) feedback.
We also got feedback from Telephoenix (the world is small) and
will test other codecs.
For those who didn't hear back from me - I am about to shrink my queue,
you will hear from me tomorrow.
Cheers,
Nico
