Our steam powered internet connection to the office is finally being upgraded to fibre next week, after the information super highway which started in the 1990's, finally made it Alcester! We are very excited, imagine it, the thought of being able to run more than 1 internet browser at a time, or transfer files bigger than 2KB 
So with our super duper warp speed access, I thought maybe it was time to look at phones and the Voice over IP revolution.
On paper, it looks like we could halve our quarterly bills, from line rental and call costs by moving to BT Cloud Phones. But the bit I'm worried about is call quality. I've spoken to some people on VOIP and there is such a delay that it feels like I'm talking to Australia rather than someone about 30 miles away.
Also there is the hassle of current numbers, which I assume you would lose, and have to source new ones, so things like stationary, marketing materials, biz cards etc need changing.
Has anyone moved over to VOIP or a big advocate of it? Or anyone had any horror stories I need to be aware of?
Are VOIP phones just like normal landline ones? (other than plugging into a network port rather than a phone one) ie same sort of functionality?
