Back when I started voip I had Packet 8 and they are located in San Jose (I think) I am in Ohio. Had no real problems. Ping came back at around 90ms.
Other providers I have used have had sip servers much closer to me but again no real difference.
Also another wild card is do they proxy the audio stream or dump it to a local gateway. Sorry not sure of correct terminology.
I think having multiple servers geography located for fall over is more important than getting a server local to you. |
