The two providers I use that have been stable and work nicely with
asterisk are Teliax and Voipjet (no did's).
I also use Junction Networks but haven't use them heavily enough to
recommend them.

Good providers that interface well with Asterisk are hard
to find. Of those around, I've only used iConnectHere (sip) and
VoicePulse Connect (iax). The only problem with VoicePulse is they
don't yet have AZ area codes, but the service has been great for the
year or two I've been using it, and the price is reasonable too. ICH
has a cheap way to demo it, but I wasn't happy with their service at
all. Maybe it's improved since I last used it, but I'm far happier
with voicepulse, especially due to their iax support.
Get an 800 number.
If you're just looking to mess around with voip without
spending anything and without access to anyone in particular, free
world dialup and iaxtel are good to use. I have both of those in my
asterisk setup, mostly because I can, and also because it has, on a few
occasions, been a nice cheap way to talk to people.
Of the billions of non-asterisk compatible providers out there, I've
used Packet8 and Vonage (still use vonage for company phone/fax, until
voicepulse gets az area codes anyway). Of the two, my opinion is that
Vonage's service is a little better, and Packet8's support is a little
better; although, both are certainly usable.
Supposedly you can plug the phone output from asterisk into an X100P or
tdm card. If you want to be able to receive/send more than one phone
call you'd have to sign up for their softphone option which costs
extra. For my money I'd pick someone else since they don't support
asterisk directly.
I'm also interested in anyone else's experience with
asterisk compatible providers, especially those that do iax.

LiveVoip (bankrupt)
VirtualPhoneline
Sixtel/IAX.cc
Broadvoice
