If you think your ISP is reliable enough then go for it!

There is a small (and growing!) number of small businesses (and not so 
small ones either!) who are moving towards using their broadband 
(typically ADSL in the UK) connection for Telephony - and even installing 
a 2nd ADSL line just for VoIP. It can work out a lot cheaper than going 
down the "traditional" ISDN2/ISDN30 route for a lot of people as a small 
business expands.

I guess that's a country thing - good luck :)
