Asterisk Feedback

["aashram" <groups@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am about as sick as I can be with Skype so about to install asterisk and
use sipp.
I am using this guide which looks very good

http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+Step-by-step+Installation

Any users here using Asterisk what service provider do you recommend.
I need a phone number in NY and one in UK.

Is this reliable ? Skype is just a memory hog and is too unreliable plus
is not opensource or a standard protocol.

I have a spare linux box I can use for this

feed back please
