Not sure why they give you an incoming phone number (UK based I assume) when you need a land-line for the broadband connection - unless of course they will be getting a percentage of the revenue from incoming calls to that number.

Plus you are still tied to the PC to make calls via the USB handset.

My recommendation would be to use Skype plus something like ActionTec's Internet Phone Wizard with the base-station of your cordless phone plugged into it.

That way I get merged land-line and Internet calls (with the ability to switch between them, put calls on hold etc) from anywhere in the house.
