Could well be some of the reason, but I have to say that I have multiple
providers configured on my FritzBox, and I have call quality and DTMF
recognition issues on Sipgate calls where I don't with others. They may be
good as a cheap and cheerful second line, but I would not be able to use
them with my setup as a PSTN replacement.
