![]() We’ve included a few starter pieces to get you going: It is important to ask the tough questions when choosing your VoIP provider. This is why we choose to white label our service with one of the largest and most resilient providers of VoIP communications services. The reason we’re successful in a pinch, is we have the staff in place to take on the task of migration and the clout to make moves in the face of opposition. Unfortunately, this provider doesn’t even know when the migration will take place. We know of another provider who is just starting their outgoing migration away from (as there is no foreseen end to their DDoS attack). In our case, the underlying network migrated over 100,000 numbers within the course of a day. This is why it’s important to use a company who possesses the ability to nimbly adjust their VoIP network. In fact we actually migrated a client away from Voip.ms and were able to migrate their phone numbers within a short 24-hour period. Nor are there as many of the providers using Voip.ms suffered the same type of attach over a week ago and they are still under attack. Many providers do not have access to the integrated networks that we do. Unfortunately, other VoIP providers have not been so lucky. Not to mention, the fact that we’ve also cultivated relationships with all major providers of VoIP phone numbers. ![]() Are ability to complete this migration, on a moment’s notice, was due to the robust nature of our network. Doing so protected the voice capabilities and call processing of our clients. Many continue to suffer as they are not nimble enough, nor have the relationships to adapt and change quickly.Īs we realized the threat was going to continue longer than most disruptions, we migrated our bandwidth numbers to an alternate Tier 1 provider. In fact, the Bandwidth DDoS attack has affected 8x8, RingCentral, DialPad, Comcast, Google Voice, Microsoft, Twilio and many others, including our own solutions. ![]() This isn’t just a VoIP issue, but rather a telecommunications issue. It can be said easily over 80% of the voice traffic today is over VoIP and I would argue 100% of the long distance and International traffic is VoIP. These numbers are then used by the VoIP providers as part of what makes up their network. However, there are others such as VoIP.ms and similar small carriers also providing numbers. The big 4 being, Level3, Inteliquent and CenturyLink. It means when you buy a VoIP solution from a provider, say OpenOne, 8x8 or RingCentral, we all purchase our phone numbers from an underlying provider or carrier. An attack that still continues, with no resolution in sight, as of the date of this blog’s publishing. As you’ve probably heard, over this weekend, considered one of the 4 major Tier1 providers, was hit with a massive DDoS attack. The first to suffer a devastating attack was VoIP.ms. Not all VoIP providers are created equal.Ĭase in point, over the past several weeks, several providers have been attacked. It’s important to understand your VoIP Provider’s network and their ability to adapt to a virtual disaster.
