They'll have to slash them a lot more than that before I use them.

This is a very interesting development indeed and I must say not
unexpected but 'Dixons, Currys and PC World' means it is a no no for
most of us. However we must rejoice that VoIP is starting to take off
with the main teleco in the UK and hopefully it will progress now to a
point where some arrangement is made for phoning mobiles.

Yes same here. I want my telephone to be included as part of my £30 pm
BB package before I say goodbye to voipbuster. The trouble is much of
the public will be sold on the idea as they have no idea what VoIP is
and Dixons,PC World etc will be pushing the stuff they have with
extended warranties etc and the uninitiated will flock to buy it. I
suppose BT will now buy up voipbuster just to rub it in:-(
