Outgoing calls to PSTN with voipbuster issues.

[turbodiesel]

Hi everyone.

I use a Voipbuster account through Voxalot to call PSTN numbers mainly in my own area code (514 Canada). My problem is that I often get enough delay to make the call troublesome to unuseable. I have lots of bandwidth and have no noticable delay when calling between 2 voxalot accounts.

Does going through voxalot and then voipbuster add more delay than just having my ATA register directly with Voipbuster?

Registering directly with voipbuster didn't always improve the quality of the call. I am wondering if it is just because voipbuster is in Europe if the can is then routed through Europe as well. ie. Canada to Europe and back to Canada. Sometimes the call display number given to the person I am calling is from Europe.

Would having a more local Voip provider help? I am thinking of trying out Vbuzzer out of Toronto.

Any suggestions on getting better quality voip to PSTN.
