Better than VPS?  I don't believe so. But the idea of "unlimited
bandwidth" in conjunction with voip is dangerous. the unlmimited part
means you're shring with whoever else is on the same pipe. For 30€ a
month no one can give that much bandwidth to several voip users.

It's very easy to have a bunch of web servers since few sites get major
activity. They just throttle it to a certain limit (ohhh I said the
word) and when there are a lot of downloads, each stream gets less bw.
Now with voip each channel would get reduced bw and then where would
your caller be? :)
