RE: Question: PRI vs SIP
If it's real PRI I would always choose it over SIP any day.
RE: Question: PRI vs SIP
SIP is almost 25 -years old now and yet it still hasn't settled down to be a mature and stable technology. People keep adding new bits, competing bits, conflicting bits, onto a huge pile of standards that each SIP provider then implements and interprets differently. PRI had the advantage of being a set of standards that telcos agreed between themselves before any new standard was published. SIP on the other hand is open to every man and his dog and if an idea gets enough supporters it gets an RFC.
Rant over. SIP is here to stay, whereas PRI is going away. Get used to SIP.
Stuck in a never ending cycle of file copying.

Real PRI if you have the choice and don't mind the extra cost (mostly).
It is also a 4 hour response time should it go down vs SIP and your Internet goes down.
HOWEVER
with SIP you can have a secondary Internet connection that keeps your lines working
PRI over SIP has basically an electronic device that converts it on site back to PRI - WHY - the system can do SIP so why the extra point of failure.

In North America things last a lot longer. We still have customers asking for a Nortel phone system when they call us
They use up all the old equipment until it has to be thrown out because there are no other options. There are also regions that have no fast enough Internet to make PRI over SIP work.

I had to learn that when I came to Canada in 1999 as I had also never seen that in my 15 years prior. No such thing in Germany
Same with ident-a-call for analog phone lines or even call waiting on analog lines

SIP seems to have worked well over the years here but of course it is adding several points of failure. Of course it is about half the price.

ISDN30/Megastream has a massive advantage over SIP in the call setup time and latency but support from BT/Openreach is getting worse (and slower) by the year as spares and engineers become fewer.
