Can people share their experiences using various SIP trunking providers with both CME and UC500?
It would be great to hear if it has been working for you, what issues you've been having, and would you recommend the provider for future opportunities?
Below I've moved a few comments regarding SIP Providers from other areas of the Site.
Please feel free to comment.

I've been using them with my UC500 for a few days now and no problems; I wasn't expecting good audio quality because the calls are going over the Internet, but the call quality has been flawless so far. The offer a pay by the line and a pay by the minute plan.
I'm curious. Is anyone is using SIP trunks with CME to access the PSTN?
If you are what has your experience been and who is your provider?
SIP Trunking Providers
I'm using Broadvoice right now (http://www,broadvoice.com) - but the connection is going through a Linksys ATA and coming into the UC500 as an FXO connection. I did get broadvoice working on the UC500 as a true SIP Trunk...simply was a proof of concept and never ran it as "production". I've also seen several people that ran ViaTalk (http://www.viatalk.com) with a pretty good success rate.
My biggest issue with ITSP (Internet Telephony Service Providers) is if they can support local PSTN numbers in a given area. For example, I'm in Southwest Georgia. It would be foolish for me to connect a SMB to an ITSP that only has Atlanta numbers...doesn't make sense and the biz owner doesn't want that.
