Are you happy with the service they provide?  I've been kicking around
the idea of setting up an asterisk box with unlimitel (or now maybe
voip.ms).

Is anybody currently running their primary home phone over voip? What
kind of QoS do you need to do to ensure a certain level of quality? I've
got our office on a (vendor set-up) voip solution, so I'm somewhat
familiar with it, but it has a dedicated connection, so I've never had
to worry about a congested connection (torrents, etc).

Realistically, I could probably get an entire second DSL connection,
join them with MLPPP and still pay less than I am currently (I suppose
it depends what my dry-loop charge would be). It's just a case of I 
don't know where to start since I haven't done it before.
