Gotta have the bandwidth. I just installed 3 lines at a company (replacing all their land-lines) and told them "it ain't gonna work". The owner's girlfriend thought she was doing the right thing by dumping BellSouth. "Our bill is only going to be $80/month!" . They called me the next day in a panic "It ain't workin'!". There was substantial latency (a delay, kinda like when you talk to someone overseas on a bad connection). I told them to call their Internet provider and bump-up their bandwidth (they're on a T-1 for their data). Looking forward to how much they're going to spend on more speed vs. the cost of keeping their landline. Also, if the power or Internet goes down, you have no phones.

I think it's great for a residence, but I wouldn't rely on it 100% for my business service.
