It is proven technology, in that it has been a big thing now for larger companies, with many offices perhaps multinational that have high bandwith connections. As I understand it systems are that well integrated that users in these organisations use their phone normally, but the kit then decides how to route it - VIOP or conventional. Companies even save money on international calls by using the mix of VOIP for the international bit with the remote office then auto dialling to the local standard phone network.

What I really like is the idea that BT can get one over on ntl & telewest who aren't forced like BT to open up their networks to other comapnies - after all if NTL can offer their phone / internet (dial up) service on BT, why shouldnt BT offer phone on ntl.

I dont expect ntl to be too happy about it - lets watch the AUP for "it's not supported" type clauses, wait for the port blocking, and how much bandwidth does VOIP use - capping anyone?
