A telecommunications system and method for routing Internet traffic without interfering with normal voice traffic on trunklines and circuits. This can be accomplished by implementing a "Traffic Route Control" functionality by local service providers to provide a method for managing and segregating Internet traffic so as to not interfere with voice traffic. In addition, with this "Traffic Route Control" functionality, a "Single Number Access" functionality service can be provided to the ISPs, in which a single 800 number accesses and routes calls to the closest local access number. Furthermore, a "Traffic Statistics" functionality can be introduced as a service to the ISPs to provide a WEB-based interface, which allows ISPs to collect, retrieve, print, view and / or transfer statistical information on traffic patterns associated with their allocated trunklines.
