The One True SIP (and IAX2) provider, IMNSHO, is VoicePulse.  The -only-
annoying thing about them is finding where their Asterisk portal is. 
(Here's the answer: http://connect.voicepulse.com/ -- or you can just plug
"voicepulse asterisk" into Google.)

They offer most everything, and definitely speak Asterisk, including
having sample, configured-for-your-authentication-information files, etc. 
And the quality's great; I've called Europe, Bermuda, etc., with nary
anything that would indicate it was a VoIP call.

I'm sure that there are other providers out there that offer comparable
service, but these guys have been good enough that I've never had to worry
about looking.

$.02, etc.,
