You can't really say anything like that until you have been in their shoes..
There are some resellers that did assume responsbility and paid out, which is awesome for them.. But they were dealing with 15000 bux to pay out or 50 000 or say even 100 000(which I don't think anyone payed out that much as I was the largest reseller and I didn't have that much overdue when everything finally came to a halt)
But Telcoweb was involved in a lawsuite centered on the whole dialer industry but focused on them. They paid out over 300 000 in legal fees, which ended up getting the FTC to admit that they hadn't a clue what they were talking about and to basically drop the 16 million dollar settlement they had wanted, and tuck tail and leave.. However while this was going on they had their accounts frozen for many months in which they couldn't pay even if they wanted to, which caused most everyone to leave.
And when they finally got through with the FTC, At&t decided that they didn't want to pay out for those minutes because they were now thourough convinced that we were all dirty crooks that promised free playstations by connecting to the dialer(a scam that was online for a whopping 2 hours before we found out about it and shut down all of the accounts).  So them At&t didn't payout the US minutes for the past  90 days, although telcoweb was paying out after 30 days.  So Telcoweb paid out for a lot of that period before finding out that At&t wasn't going to pay out, which was in the tune of god knows how many 10's of millions of dollars.
Telcoweb is not a multibillion dollar company here people, they do not have an extra billion sitting in the bank incase of things like this, no dialer company does, and like I said this was chump change that they 'chinced' out on, this was to the tune of dozens of millions of dollars.  BUT They did pay out on ALL international minutes to the dime.. Although they had just lost their entire reputation basically, and all those millions to the USA's backwards policies, as well as that drugged up teenager liviong with his Gramma who started that playstation scam, they still paid out a lot of money for those international minutes when they could have just gave up, and ran while they still had something.. Do you know how many dialer companies ran when the USA went down?
Ever heard of GIB? The biggest one out there..
God how about listing all the dialer companies that didn't payout a dime for US minutes or international after that whole thing went down.  Because there were literally dozens and dozens of dialer companies popping up at that time, how many do we have now?  And how many of the ones we have now are honest?
I know only a handful personally and Telcoweb is at the top of that short list..
Another popular dialer company has recently been nailed by the FTC for dirty tricks, and dishonest dialers, which is basically going to put the last nail in the coffin for US domestic billing solutions, so expect a nice surprise when no one gets paid on US minutes from them..
I have and always will stick with Telcowebs Dialers.. Right now they are the best converting international dialers overall in the world, by a long shot.  I have been testing them since last year, and the new system rocks the casba!!
They are honest, play by the book, and your safest bet for a dialer company these days.. PLUS they have very cool features like being able to redirect your US traffic to a paysite, or CC sponsor if you wish, as well as built in SMS billing, CC billing, Broad band drop charge billing, their dialer pages are also translated into dozens of languages that auto filter your traffic by IP And Language to insure amazing conversions!! You name it, we got it..
