Bandwidth is great for wholesale origination and termination. With a decent commitment, you can get great rates, and their support is excellent. Recommended as a primary source of service for voice traffic.

Cons
No answers on this topic
  • While their porting department does a wonderful job, it seems to be the department that feeds other departments. They promote many out of that department to take on more responsibility elsewhere in the company (which is a good thing). However, it leaves us to work with yet another porting person who we have to learn to work with.
  • I cannot really say much else that's negative about them. They do a good job, have an easy to use portal, and respond well when things aren't working.

Bandwidth wins hands down. We were lucky to get someone from CenturyLink to return our calls, their trouble reporting dashboard was horrible and they, as a company, were generally unresponsive when we escalated issues. They would close tickets when the issue was still very obviously occurring. Bandwidth doesn't close a ticket until the end user says it is fixed -- which is refreshing in the telecom industry.
