    We have had voip and adsl2 for at least a year now with iinet and have had no problems. Our internet is $50/mth and all calls are free, except for mobiles, overseas and 13 numbers which are at a good rate. Our bill is now around 60-70/mth which is a lot less than we used to pay.
    You have to buy a modem and voip phone (don't get the iinet phone - its junk... actually they have bob now, maybe thats better). I have no idea how much it costs these days but I think it was about $200 for us - if you have the knowledge you could of course shop around.
    Your phone plugs into your modem - instead of the wall (freaks visitors out because the dial tone is different). Other than that it is exactly the same as using a normal phone.
    I'm trying to think of what else to tell you. can't think of anything. Its been a good saving.

    iinet are very good, but we had a bob for a while for our business and it was useless. Even with the phone on the charger all the time the battery would go flat as soon as the phone rang so you couldn't even answer it. Iinet have other options though, and they have very good service which is a bonus if you need lots of help.
