Ok Gavin.

To get back on track, The op was looking for a voip provider to replace his home phone, now unless he wants to leave his computer on 24/7 and have an 02 number that may not be suitable depending on his area i don't think skype is a good solution.

Vonage is but due to their servers being based in the usa depending on who his isp is this can sometimes be a problem. See vonage forums for further info...
One other downside is you can only use vonage supplied hardware in most cases this is ok but it restrics things later on down the line if you want to make some changes hardware wise even more so if you have given your number out to people!

I would recommend companies such as gradwell, voip.co.uk and voipfone etc... Just pick one that saves you the most depending on when you make your calls. These companies also allow number porting from and to BT etc... as well as other voip providers.
