Do you have any idea how the PSTN is engineered and for what kind of traffic? I suggest you go study it. I'm sure the EECS dept at Berkeley has some books on it. There is no "blame" being pointed out, just explanations and possible solutions. We (you and I and everbody else) are all in the midst of the first major change in PSTN traffic since the beginning. Maybe the second if you count the proliferation of fax machines when they first caught on but the average call length of a fax is nowhere near the times being seen for Internet access.
