As far s I know they work out of a sydney office, but more likely they
are a part of a much bigger organisation.

Problem, what problems.

The only main prob I am aware of was over the Christmas period
They ran out of stock of ATA's that they were selling on special offer.
I have been using the service since before Christmas last year with
little problem, occasionally you dont get through, but try again and you
will, this appears to be common with other voip providers, I also have
it setup with internode VOIP as well, although since connecting with
pennytel, I've not used it, I havent bothered to cancel it as its
costing me no monthly fee. The Pennytel gave me ,for no extra cost, a
DID number, for which I selected a Brisbane number as many of my kids
and grandkids are living there, and there was no local Cairns number for
me, although I could have a Singapore number if I wanted.
