[Freeswitch-users] Recommendations for Trunks from Hawaii?

[Jeff Bernhardt]

Yeah, actually, ping to the Vitelity server we connect to is about 95ms as well, but I wonder if they route SIP traffic elsewhere in some confounded way to get to Hawaii. Maybe I should actually just email Vitelity and ask!

No satellite link for Hawaiian providers. There's a network of submarine cables that connects us to the rest of the world. Check this out: http://www.submarinecablemap.com/

Not Freeswitch specific, but...
We have a couple Vitelity DIDs we use for testing, but the latency on them is fairly bad. We figure this is just because of physical distance... we're in Hawaii and Vitelity is I believe in Denver (at least that's the ip we connect to). Does anyone have recommendations for any good trunks that might be located somewhere closer (California)? There are plenty of companies here and there, but what are people using that might meet our needs?
Thanks.


Speaking based only on "assumptions" here but I doubt if there will be much difference between Hawaii and a SIP provider in LA  or one in Denver.  I have had servers of my own in New Hampshire, Virginia, and LA and the max ping times over public Internet were typically around 95ms.  I would bet that the majority of the latency you are seeing is due to the link between Hawaii and the mainland.  Could it be a satellite link that your Internet provider is using?  Have you asked them about the connectivity they use to get to mainland destinations?
