I want VoIP for SMB to fill the need for customers with 2, 3, or 4 lines who can't make the leap to an Integrated T1 circuit.

Vonage won't work for business for any number of reasons. It's costly in hardware and call quality sucks. It's not reliable, and you have to have extra hardware for more handsets throughout your business.

Here's what I want for those SMB customers who want VoIP, but don't want an Integrated T1. I want reliable 768 frac T1 or 1.1+ SDSL provider coverage, a VoIP accelerator appliance from DLink to maintain call quality, and a VoIP appliance that plugs directly into a businesses existing phone system and lights their analog wiring for Voip. That customer can plug virtually any telephone in to any existing phone jack and make calls over his or her VoIP system. We get to sell a $275 - $350 per month MRR package to a customer already paying $200+ on POTS and another $125 for DSL, and we eliminate all LD. Call quality is high because of the circuit quality and the Accelerator appliance.

Smaller customers get POTS/DSL bundles. Larger customers get a true Integrated T1 or business quality VoIP solutions from NuVox, ITCD, and other providers.

Now, if only we could get Covad and New Edge to launch this type of solution at our price point, we'd be in great shape.
