Which 3CX supported UK providers sell trunks without bundled ADSL/VDSL/other

[Mark Phillips]

As I've mentioned before I've currently got a 3CX installation running using Sipgate, which is not supported by 3CX in the UK. Although we've had trouble-free motoring for the whole time we've been using it, I'm wary that it is technically unsupported and I'm concerned that I may start to run into difficulties when we add more complexity - e.g. additional trunks and DDIs. The pricing also isn't great, but is okay for what it is - a 30 day contract.

I've made enquiries with Talk Talk Business and after a promising 10 minutes, they dropped the bombshell that they only deliver SIP trunks over their own network, which meant I would need to use one of their premium business ADSL/VDSL/leased lines in order to use their SIP trunks. I've looked at Zen but from what I've read on their website, they also only deliver SIP over their own network.

As we are already in contract with another supplier (Daisy Group, but resold via a local company) for a 100Mbps fibre leased line, I just need the SIP trunks.

Does anyone know which of the supported 3CX providers in the UK can help with this?

I appreciate the reason some suppliers only want to deliver SIP over their own networks....it just isn't an option for us while we're tied into the current leased line contract.

Thanks in advance.

I use Gamma who offer both SIP trunks and ADSL/VDSL at quite a reasonable price, you will find them supported by 3CX also. They are IP authenticated SIP trunks however.

Can you confirm if what you mean by "delivered over their own network" means IP authenticated (as opposed to registration based) or that they insist on sending your their own pre-configured router for direct internet access to their platform/network.

Yes, direct internet access to their network. Basically TTB wanted to sell me a premium VDSL service (with QoS apparently) with their own router. I explained I had a 100/100 leased line with our own (cisco) router but they weren't interested in selling the SIP trunks alone.

Ok then, you should be fine with Gamma then, for example I have a separate Draytek here at home bought 3rd party using thier VDSL service. You can get trunks separately as well.

I understand the reasons why providers want you to take their own router (and had a similar experience with Sky once) but they should offer flexibility & choice or will just be losing customers.

I think you are misunderstanding the ops question. He's asking about a BYOB provider. It's not about the router, it's about the bundling of the internet circuit with the service he's trying to avoid.
