That is pretty interesting, because I figured that maybe that would solve my issue of trying to get a cheap "landline". Sadly no. My ISP also doesn't want to do VOIP. They have the product, but doesn't sign up new customers.

Voip is a classic loss maker for ISPs.

Right up there with email servers and DNS.

It increases their attack surface and support costs without any real bottom line benefit.

I suspect I will be adding IPTV to that list in 5 years too.
