to go to Speakeasy.
You can check for availability to see if you can get Speakeasy where you live, take a look at their nationwide network, see near realtime (updated every 15 minutes) pings that give the latency between each of their POPs or test the speed of your current connection. Recently we’ve cut over to their VoIP service for our home phones, and at the same time switched to their ‘one link’ service which cuts SBC/ATT out of the loop completely. My signal goes from my house to Speakeasy hardware, so to be able to bypass the monopoly that I had to put up with for so many years feels great.
