www.link2voip.com is based out of Edmonton, you might have an easier time porting numbers with them. I have asterisk running in a VPS that connects to them - mostly for testing and learning, For softphones SJ Phone works well, they have some unresolved issues with XLite not registering properly. I'm not familiar with Ekiga. While I don't have much time logged through them to be commenting on, I haven't had any issues yet with softphones connected directly to their servers. Calls through my asterisk VPS are rough at times, but I've attributed that to the VPS environment as the provider's default install has cronjobs running at specific half-hour intervals - lining up almost exactly with any noticed call issues. All the VM's doing something and getting a fair share of the CPU at the same time doesn't bode well for a realtime application running on one. But since it is mostly a test environment - it is okay for my purposes.
