ISDN BRI Vs SIP Trunks Over EDIA

Hello,

I am installing Asterisk in a small office with just 4 lines and 8 Extensions.

I have two choices from my local telco (Fairpoint):

1) Old School ISDN BRI lines which I would connect to Asterisk with a OpenVOX B200P
2) Telco supplied SIP trunks over a service called EDIA which is 1MB ethernet over several pair of copper lines.

The ISDN BRI solution is less than 1/2 the price of the SIP solution.

Any recommendations? Pitfalls?

  • I’ve never dealt with a BRI before, primarily PRI, but I’d go BRI instead of IP if they’re doing any faxing.
