But now it comes from anywhere, much of it from China, and voice implementations have all sorts of dial & ring tones, etc. (echoes are a particular problem).  Australia used to have one of the best voice networks in the world.  Sigh...

Well we're in the absurd situation where every RSP recommends a 
different modem/router. Some even lock you in (Telstra) by refusing to 
share the SIP security credentials if you want to use their VOIP 
service. If you change reseller you might have to change your 
modem/router. Many of them are not really going to care much about 
Australian standard ring tones etc.
