Yes there are good providers out there and people can save money. But 
this is also driving down the cost of long distance over a POTS line. In 
our area you can get long distance for 1 cent now. I think its just a 
matter of time before they drop the cost of a POTS line per line to 
compete with VoIP providers. If a POTS line becomes about the same cost 
as a VoIP line which one would you choose for your business? Time will 
tell....anyway I sell VoIP and all good things come to an end eventually.
