Why carrier-of-record status changes your United Kingdom rate
A published per-segment price is only half the evaluation: a rate quoted by a facilities-based carrier and the same-looking rate resold through an aggregator can move differently at volume, because each resold hop is a point where a route can be re-priced or fail. Orbit's messages to United Kingdom route over Devotel's own wholesale softswitch rather than a resold aggregator hop, so the rate you evaluate is the rate the traffic actually runs on.
