[OpenSIPS-Business] Teir 1 Service Providers (Level 3, XO, ATT)

[Kristian Kielhofner]

I can confirm that Level(3) is essentially the "Cadillac" of SIP orig/term
in the US.

- Almost absolutely consistent signalling.
- At least six ingress/egress SBCs throughout the US with fairly flexible
routing.
- Level(3) (from an IP perspective) tops the charts in IPs allocated and
BGP peers.  If you're doing direct media handoff there's no better option.
- While very bureaucratic, they have excellent operations.

We've never had a quality problem with them that was actually their fault.
