I've seen some pretty good deals on VoIP and am wondering how those of us using it, like it. Could you tell us your service provider and experiences and/or setup?

I've had a few friends use it and some of their calls sounded a bit echoey and hollwoed out. This was about a year ago, though.
i look in your general direction

I've been using Skype for a while to call computer-to-computer. I think it works pretty well on 768k/128k DSL. Calls from Skype users sound like they have a somewhat restricted sound range over the phone, but not worse than a cell phone call, IMHO.
