TJ - since you're a business guy, what are you provisioning to business customers? Anything with a CIR? Anyone doing SDSL in town? What about PRIs? Are you giving anyone 10mbit or 100mbit drops? Do you do any kind of colocation? Again, what is your egress situation?Forgot to mention during this post that yes, we do PRI's, we have multiple businesses in town doing just that.
We are also starting to do a bit of SIP trunking only with dedicated pipelines for Data and a completely separate pipe just for voice. By doing this we help ensure that our QoS is the highest possible and that prioritization of data vs voice is not an issue.

The entire point of QoS is to prioritize one form of traffic over another, whether it's Voice, Video, or Data. Incurring 2x the charge in loop, etc is ridiculous when it could be delivered over a single connection.

We are doing it at no additional charge for the additional pipeline of data/voice. We are just dedicating x amount of bandwidth for "A" and y amount for "B" each with their own dedicated loop.
The reason we are doing it this is is because some of our competition is trying it the other way and they have some extremely pissed off customers bitching that they don't have bandwidth to do business and talk on the phone at the same time. I'm not going to name that competition, but I will say that they use a "bonded T1" solution.

Then it is being done wrong, period. 95% of my job is dealing with large unified communications projects and making sure that links are utilized properly for WAN and even LAN based calls.

I'm not saying it is/isn't being done wrong, I'm just saying that we are taking steps to ensure that we never get accused of the same thing. It won't cost us or the customer more to do it this way and according to the 3 networking places we've consulted (since we don't provide the phone systems or end user hardware really) it shouldn't require any additional hardware on their end either...and all three of them seemed to think it was a great solution. IDK, I'm just the idiot that gets to sell it, I have an office full of geeks to tell me how it will work.

What 3 companies are you partnered with?

Marco, NCI and some other company that I can't think of the name of all feed us a ton of business, so even though we aren't "partnered" with them, we do work with them whenever possible. As I think you know Nick, I'd be more than happy to share leads w/ you as well and I CERTAINLY am not as versed on VoIP products/options/solutions as you are, so I am all ears and would be happy to bring you in to consult with us on this as well.
