Let's cut to the chase on VoiP. Aside from the fact that you need a dependable wire source for the broadband carrier - wireless gives you such pops and is too intermittent for quality conversations - what sold me is reviewing the bills for calls. From across the pond for 35 minutes was less than 2.15 CDN, that's about or less than a pound after exchange rates. If call volumes are high and you have a consistent broadband carrier, why would you use anything else? Throw on the whiteboard, video, and other features, and you have a complete multi-media communications package on your laptop; which, by the way, is what I usually use for my telephoning.
