I am not going to comment about BT line or not... althought I still believe
that basic safety reckon you should keep at least 1 phone line with a corded
phone per house... as this is probably the only working communication device
you will have if you need emergency during a local power cut... or is that
me not trusting VoIP enough to make the jump....

Anyway, I have tried the following:
- voipfone.co.uk (but they intend to cut the line if they detect no activity
for 2 minutes)
- voiptalk.co.uk (DTMF/keytone not always correctly detected by remote
system...)
They both give you a 056 number for free.... local number are charged...

- voipcheap.com: you get charged for a call-in number (never tried this
yet). dunno either about call quality.

I still believe voip.co.uk is the best one out there.... for these who got
in early enough... not sure what will happen with them in the near future...
it is all very quiet at their end... voipfone is good line quality, probebly
even better that voip.co.uk, but them cutting the line after 2 minutes of
silence is not acceptable for me.
