Your Primus is not telling you the truth because IP phones what you are intend to use in future will use between 88 to 99 Khz per offhook operation and that meens that for 5 conversation you would need at least 440-500Khz of bandwidth.

Thanks Sentrex - regarding the bandwidth, we operate a small office with rarely 3 of 5 lines engaged at any given time.

Primus has told us that one provisioned DSL line will only use the bottom 450KB of available bandwidth and enable us up to seven simultaneous calls (not that we'd ever max that) in crystal clear quality.

Too good to be true?
Yes and no. A toll-quality (uncompressed, g711) call needs 64kb/sec each way, plus another 6-10kb/sec for the overhead. To be absolutely covered figure 140kb/sec per 2-way conversation. BUT. There are voice compression schemes such as g729a that reliably cut the above figure in half. This is not free by the way, you have to purchase licenses, but the cost is minimal.
This is regardless of the VOIP protocol.
I don't have direct experience with Primus, but I've heard good things.

Edit: I should add that the difference in quality between a g711 and a g729a call is zero for most people/circumstances

Thanks sph. I'll admit there seems to be a bit of fear mongering going on - I'll have to spend a bit more time on the VOIP part of the board I suppose to get fully acquainted with both sides of the story.

Yes bandwidth important. My issue is not VoIP. My issue is hosted PBX. You have no control over the equipment and will pay every month, every year, forever. I don't believe it to be a smart investment. If you want a VoIP system... buy one.
