I'm using Junction Networks and Les.NET.

Junction Networks has local DID's (or their partner does anyway) and  
multiple inbound channels. Transferring was smooth.  No problems at  
all with them.

Les.NET has better rates and is slightly less reliable.  They seem to  
be scaling up lately.  Run by a guy in Canada, though the servers are  
in VA.  None of that seems to matter.  I use him for outbound, and  
fail over to Junction if needed.  Both support IAX and SIP.

I think all DID's have a small monthly fee, but most of my cost is  
per-minute charges.  I believe each might have a flat-rate program,  
but I'm a believer in metered usage.

I've heard that Broadvoice used to be great and got bought and is now  
abusive towards their customers.  Google knows more than I do.
