I should have seen that when I noted that the rates were about one-third higher than they had been.

I don't mind such mistakes. If the service (call quality, features, support) is good, then I consider this an 'oops'-moment.

Setting up your own system with PBXes, and my own DIDs and Routes is nice, but in the end, these are all extra hops which have an impact on call-quality, and there are too much possible points of failure. With an integrated system like MAXroam, I think that the chance of running into problems is much smaller.
